DESCRIPTION
      The XRecolorCursor function changes the color of the specified cursor,
      and if the cursor is being displayed on a screen, the change is visible
      immediately.  Note that the pixel members of the XColor structures are
      ignored, only the RGB values are used.

      XRecolorCursor can generate a BadCursor error.

      The XFreeCursor function deletes the association between the cursor
      resource ID and the specified cursor.  The cursor storage is freed when
      no other resource references it.  The specified cursor ID should not be
      referred to again.

      XFreeCursor can generate a BadCursor error.

      Some displays allow larger cursors than other displays.  The
      XQueryBestCursor function provides a way to find out what size cursors
      are actually possible on the display.  It returns the largest size that
      can be displayed.  Applications should be prepared to use smaller cursors
      on displays that cannot support large ones.

      XQueryBestCursor can generate a BadDrawable error.

DIAGNOSTICS
      BadCursor A value for a Cursor argument does not name a defined Cursor.

      BadDrawable
                A value for a Drawable argument does not name a defined Window
                or Pixmap.
