Is it also true of alpha cursors? I think they are displayed using the
RENDER extension, not the hardware cursor mechanism.

Sorry, but if I back out this change I'll get hanged. Many users were
asking for a nice yet neutral default cursor theme, which is exactly
what Industrial is. Why should I deprive other users from a decent
default theme because of a bug in some hardware? Why not fix the bug in
the hardware before?
