OK - I can grab easily the source from the given visual as parameter.
But: How should I handle the "mask"?
"man XCreatePixmapCursor" says:
mask Specifies the cursor's source bits to be dis
played or None.
Using "None" for the mask means pre-defined, which should be
avoided...

Does X provide something to check, if one more cursor is available or
can I always assume that there is one more cursor available?

"man XCreatePixmapCursor" says:
x
y Specify the x and y coordinates, which indicate
the hotspot relative to the source's origin.
So I will put them to 0/0, except someone has some reasons...
