DESCRIPTION
       glutSetCursor  changes  the cursor image of the current window.  Each call requests the window system
       change the cursor appropriately.  The cursor image when a window is created  is  GLUT_CURSOR_INHERIT.
       The  exact cursor images used are implementation dependent. The intent is for the image to convey the
       meaning of the cursor name. For a top-level window, GLUT_CURSOR_INHERIT uses the default window  sys-tem system
       tem cursor.

X IMPLEMENTATION NOTES
       GLUT  for  X uses SGI's _SGI_CROSSHAIR_CURSOR convention to access a full-screen cross-hair cursor if
       possible.
