I've added some hints.

Yes, this is the reason why I didn't add a max size query yet. I've
added one now, but I do wonder:

- Is the size returned by XQueryBestCursor actually binding for ARGB
  cursors created via the Render extension ?

- Are the Xcursor query functions sufficient ? They only take the    
  display as an argument, so if there is one color and one monochrome
  screen, will XcursorSupportsARGB return true or false ?


Any comments on the idea to supply cursors with a name (*) for a11y ?

GdkCursor *gdk_cursor_new_from_image (GdkDisplay     *display,
                                      GdkCursorImage *image,
                                      gchar          *name)
