Hi Alex,
I also run EXWM as my window manager under Guix System. I manage my
keyboard and cursor settings in my ~/.xsession file. For the cursor
settings, I use xsetroot like so:
```
# Change cursor to left arrow
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr
```
Take a look at its man page for quite a few options related to setting
the cursor file and size.
Happy hacking!
Gary
