that is nowhere near intuitive!

many debian packages have documentation in /usr/share/doc/$PACKAGENAME
and often there is a README.Debian (or similar names) with debian
specific post-installation instructions.

new session for a new user and I still have the same
small cursors and mouse pointers.

you do not need a new "session" but a new istance of the X server (or
possibly not, as the above file explains). If you are using gdm / kdm /
xdm / wdm ... (as opposed to startx), then a logout does NOT start a new
istance of the X server, since the display manager ?dm keeps alive the
old istance of X.

You can restart the display manager
/etc/init.d/gdm restart
and/or kill the X server (and so lose all unsaved data in your session)
from the X server itself (unless disabled in xorg.conf): <alt><ctrl><backspace>
with a console command: killall X
and/or
log in in console and manually start a new X istance:
startx -- :1
