New issue 8786 by [email protected]: Inconsistent cursors on linux
http://code.google.com/p/chromium/issues/detail?id=8786

Our code pretty much assumes that the user's default arrow is GDK_ARROW.
For me, this is not actually the case: my system default cursor is a larger
arrow. When I mouse over chrome for the first time, it doesn't change the
cursor until I hit some sort of content and webkit triggers a cursor
change, at which point it changes to a hand or a text selector. Only after
mousing back over generic content does it change to GDK_ARROW. This is also
visible in the toolbar. The cursor used for the toolbar is always my system
default cursor. It seems strange that the cursor should change when going
between toolbar and render area.

I took a survey of my open programs and it seems there is no consistent
behavior between apps. Firefox always sets the cursor to GDK_ARROW. Gnome
terminal only sets it to GDK_ARROW for the content area; tabs and menus are
system default. Xchat never sets GDK_ARROW, only toggling between special
cursors (e.g. resize arrows) and system default.

This is a very easy fix. I just want to make sure everyone agrees that
firefox is doing it right.
