Advice fixing #13683 (DirectX mouse overlay?)

[Christopher Thielen]

Good point. Maybe knowing the offset isn't too useful for now.

I still haven't figured out through what mechanism the game draws this 
missing cursor. The D3D9 cursor functions never make a sound in the logs 
and while the User32 LoadCursor/SetCursor/clipping stuff is called an 
awful lot on initialization, it looks like it's always for the system 
cursors. I also pasted in a method to dump to a .bmp file anything that 
goes through LoadIcon and wound up with one icon I don't recall and 
another which was simply Wine's icon.

So, my hunch now is that the game draws the cursor using DirectX and 
uses User32 only for setting mouse clipping.

Is there a decent way to dump as a file every DX resource loaded that's 
under a certain size? I'd like to confirm my theory and maybe if I'm 
lucky figure out which DX surface/texture is being drawn incorrectly (if 
any).
