I agree that this was the intention behind.

BUT: what it actually does is recreating the cursors as they were
before, using Xserver's builtin ones.

EXCEPT: if somebody else messed with the root window, the cursors are
reset to Xserver's builtin ones.

If you want it to use themed cursors, it has to be changed to load the
cursors from theme, instead of calling XCreateFontCursor(). But as long
as it just using the Xserver's builtin cursors, the whole code doesn't
make any sense at all.

In master branch, it already does nothing. Confirmed it by selecting 
several cursor themes, which does practially nothing (some applications
change their own cursors, but WM's cursors remain the same).
