Removing the line in misc.c which says

fprintf(fp, "Inherits=\n");

seems to be the right fix - from xterm's side:  Xcursor really should check the
length of the name for the inherited theme.

Changing the mousetheme to another than "Standard" gets xterm up,
though.

It sounds like the one I mentioned early this morning: breaks with xfce4.
I'll be working on a fix for that this evening.

That's why I told the bug submitter to rebuild xterm with debugging
symbols, without them the backtrace is useless.

Please install also libxcursor1-dbg.

Could you please rebuild xterm with debug symbols and get a backtrace
from gdb?  Either build the package with DEB_BUILD_OPTIONS=nostrip or
run xterm from the build tree.

TIA, 
Sven

"It doesn't work" is not a useful bug description.  Please show what
error messages you see when starting xterm (from some other terminal
emulator).
