This however only works for the root window. If your application sets another 
cursor it will be displayed when the cursor is above an app window.
The same is true for most modern window managers which create their
own root windows.

This shouldn't happen. Maybe there is a bug in the void driver.
Can you use a debugger to look at this, please? If you use a 
modularized Xserver please get gdb from www.dawa.demon.co.uk/xfree-gdb.
This can also display symbols from modules.
You may have to use the command 'module', though to load them
before you can get them displayed.

Egbert.
