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 system cursor.


X IMPLEMENTATION NOTES

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