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.
