Public bug reported:

OS version: Xubuntu 12.04.1

Effects:
  Many programs crash or do not start at all, including the xfce4-terminal. 
gksu and xfrun4 will crash as soon as you try to write anything. Oddly enough 
leafpad will let you delete but, as soon as you try to write something, it too 
crashes.

Steps to reproduce:
  1. download a cursor theme
  2. open its index.theme and, given that <cursor_theme> is the name of the 
theme's folder, add the line: Inherits=<cursor_theme>
  3. make it the default x-cursor-theme
  4. log out, log back in

Reversal (only works if you can get writing permissions for the index.theme 
file):
  Simply open the index.theme file again and remove the "Inherits" line (this 
can be accomplished with leafpad since you can still delete).
