None of that.

Of course, hence my nack.

See the Xcursor man page.

„The X11 XCreateFontCursor and XCreateGlyphCursor functions use this
part of the API to extend the X core cursors feature to use themes.“

Xlib implements XCreateFontCursor() which uses libXcursor, so that just works.

Does it mean your setup doesn't use Xcursor? Not sure I am interested
in supporting such setups, cursor themes and size do not even make
sense on such a setup anyway.
