Re: SetCursorProperties

Hi Jarmo,
  we just had time to take a look at your patch - sorry about the delay 
blame it on the power outage ;)

  The comments that we had were basically due to the fact that you're 
mucking around with USER internals. Here are a couple of URLs which 
describe the process by which an alpha cursor should be set using winXP. 
But basically we should be using a CreateIconIndirect and feeding that 
to SetCursor etc.

  Additionally we'll need 2 checks for libXcursor.so - one for compile 
time and another for runtime. The compile time one is done in 
configure.ac and then use autoheader to generate the new 
include/config.h.in and autoconf to generate the new configure test 
which will set HAVE_LIBXCURSOR, or something like that. The test can 
basically be similar to may of the ones already performed. The run time 
check would be run if HAVE_LIBXCURSOR is defined and would attempt to 
dlopen it.

  On top of that, it might be nice to generate thread safe wrapper for 
that library. Have a look at tools/make_X11wrappers and you can also 
look at what was done for XRandR in that regard if you'd like to see 
what to change. All those thread safe wrappers hang out in include/ts_* 
and tsx11/*. However, this isn't needed, it's just a keen been project 
since the only call to the library doesn't require a TSX version based 
on where it's used in the code.

  Let me know if any of that doesn't make sense.

Ciao,
Peter**
