NB: entrance doesn't use X cursors at all. The mouse cursor is just a canvas
image object (a png file actually) that just follows where the cursor position
is. ecore_evas is told by entrance to "blank out the cursor and use a "soft"
cursors in the canvas". this works great as you get alpha blending and full
colour cursors regardless of what xserver, driver, hardware etc. you have, but
if evas cannot load the png (png loader disabled? not compiled in? libbng not
detected? cursor file for some reason deleted or permissions set so entrance is
unable to load it?) then you will get a big fat BLANK (an unload-able image is
blank by default as no data was accessible - thus no pixels are produced).
