so it seems your .fluxus.scm is read, but it runs as a boot script
before the opengl stuff is initialized, so your (set-cursor) and similar
stuff won't work.

there's a workaround starting a task that runs a bit later when all the
initialisations have finished. try something like the following instead
of (set-cursor 'crosshair).

; set the cursor to 'crosshair in 5 seconds from now
(spawn-timed-task (+ (time-now) 5)
   (lambda () (set-cursor 'crosshair)))

hope it helps,
