Report after porting a windows app to WINE

Can you explain this one a bit further? You mean Wine doesn't forward it
to the app?

Ah, I think that's not a bug in wine per se, as up until yesterday no
stable release of X could actually do coloured cursors. The XCursor
extension that comes in with XFree 4.3 adds support for colour,
animated, alpha blended cursors, as opposed to the old system that was 1
bit only.

The solution here is to add support for XCursor uploads to Wine. File a
bug against it I guess, write it yourself, or hire a Wine developer to
do it for you.

As has already been pointed out, it'd be much better for you to actually
fix bugs in Wine rather than work around them in your own app when
possible - that way, everybody wins :) In particular, if in the future
the bug is fixed, your workarounds will either break or become
redundant.
