I think it must because it is getting set somehow. by default it uses
the regular mac one until set otherwise
So this works, i.e. sets the cursor:
ssh somebody@localhost "/opt/trinity/bin/kdeinit -no-kded"
But this does not, i.e. does not set the cursor:
ssh somebody@sunnybeach "/opt/trinity/bin/kdeinit -no-kded"
Is this right?

It appears not to matter actually - it always uses that cursor without
either command. I suppose that it is just a default somewhere.
Where would a default cursor be set?
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/X11_Cursors
usually in .Xresources, the resource is called "Xcursor.theme".
e.g:
$ xrdb << XXX
Xcursor.theme: a-theme-name
XXX
sets the theme from /usr/share/icons/a-theme-name/
