left_ptr_watch isn't a standard X cursor. Instead, the way it works
is that when Xlib gets a request to create a bitmap cursor, libXcursor
creates a hash value from the bits, and sees if there is a cursor
with that hash value as a name.
This hack allows libXcursor to theme custom bitmap cursors from
programs like Mozilla.
So, your theme needs a symlink:
[big long string of hex digts] => left_ptr_watch
see the existing themes for how the right name.
