Comment 4 for bug 171333

Drawback of the change in r11806: the new pointer symbol is centered at the current pointer position and thus tends to "hide" the details of the snap target below it when trying to precisely position the guide with snapping (at least on OS X, tested with both backends of GTK2 and GTK3, and even more so on Ubuntu 12.10, with default cursor theme).

(Note: this also used to be the case for the select tool cursor symbol in older versions, and IIRC it was among the main reasons why the cursor symbol was changed in 0.48 to use a custom combined version: arrow + symbol).
