Hmm, that seems a little odd. Seems like there are three camps here:
* People writing display drivers (let's call them 'the minority')
want a stipple and cursor. -> -retro
* People starting regular desktop environments want the default
behaviour. (Though I have slight doubts. I'd fall back on the
default cursor being a NULL cursor unless forced otherwise, and
IIRC the behaviour here is to suppress cursor realisation, which
means you come back to an ugly root cursor, but that's fixable.)
* People running consumer/embedded systems who can't trust their
apps not to try to change the cursors want to silently drop all
cursor rendering. -> patch required if deemed useful
Can you not just ship a null cursor theme or something if your apps
insist on setting a cursor?
Cheers,
