Is there a way to hide wine's default cursor or change it or use Xorg's
cursor? (I did ask this on IRC last night, but only 1 person responding
he/she didn't think so, so I'm asking on the list just to be sure). Reason
for this is, I have found a mouse.c patch that enables a sort of HW OpenGL
cursor for WoW. (Basically shows the wine hw cursor instead of hiding it,
then with a mod the openGL SW cursor is hidden, but that default windows
mouse icon is ugly). Thanks for any help in this.

Can you point me at the patch. As I would find it useful.
Thank you.

I have been working on some cursor patches, and I think the last of my series implements cursor themes (ie. it uses the X arrow in place of the B/W one that Wine normally uses.) It searches for various custom wine_* cursors first, then checks for the standard system arrow, and lastly falls back to B/W cursors. If you can get the WoW arrow cursor, you could even theme Wine's arrow cursor to match.

Note that they haven't been sent to wine-patches yet, so if you want them let me know. I am in IRC fairly often as Griswold, I check wine-devel a lot, and I will check this forum/ML thread. Mailing andrewriedi at gmail.com with "cursor" in the title works, too.
