Patch that makes Wine use standard mouse cursor

Actually, Wine uses it's own (and ugly) mouse cursors instead of the system one. The patch attached makes Wine use the system mouse cursor (at least the regular one).

This bug was originally reported on Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/wine1.2/+bug/593539

[Mohamed Amine Ilidrissi (ilidrissi.amine)]

Reworked patch to apply to wine1.2 source. Hopefully, it should be also applying to the trunk.

Wine cursor is an icon that should be available for applications via Win32 API.

[Dmitry-codeweavers (dmitry-codeweavers)]

Next time please specify the Wine version you are using. Closing.

[Alexandre Julliard (julliard)]

The Windows cursor has to be available to the app but that doesn't mean it has to be the one displayed. Please don't be so quick to close legitimate enhancement requests.

[Austin English (austinenglish)]

Confirming.

[Dmitry-codeweavers (dmitry-codeweavers)]

The problem is that it's not possible to distinguish between a standard and
custom application cursor. Also, applications may use a standard cursor as
a template and modify it.

And an original premise that Wine cursors are "ugly" is not really true.
If the intent is to replace only arrow cursor, then it's going to be even
more uglier, the correct way is to introduce cursor theming IMO.

[Konstantin Tokarev (annulen)]

I can confirm: it's really ugly

[Jack Leigh (leighman)]

cursor theme support would be awesome =D

[Alexandre Julliard (julliard)]

This is implemented now.

[Jack Leigh (leighman)]

Score one for desktop integration!
Love it.

[Scott Ritchie (scottritchie)]

Fixed in Wine 1.3 branch (too big to backport to 1.2)

[Alexandre Julliard (julliard)]

Closing bugs fixed in 1.3.6.

[Vadim Peretokin (vperetokin)]

Thanks so much for fixing this.
