Whoa. I haven't been following this cursor stuff very closely and so maybe this is already explained, but why is this going in XMC and not X11? This looks like the kind of very low-level general key munging most appropriate for the latter.

It's not, it's which isn't currently exported by X11. Since only one entry is being used, it's being specified locally but in a way which will avoid collisions if cursorfont is added to X11 later. (I doubt it's a high priority.) It's only low level in the sense that X11's cursor stuff is rather primitive (in several senses of the term). -- brandon s. allbery [solaris,freebsd,perl,pugs,haskell] allbery@kf8nh.com system administrator [openafs,heimdal,too many hats] allbery@ece.cmu.edu electrical and computer engineering, carnegie mellon university KF8NH
