Summary:                    vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow doesn't honour crosshair
cursors
Description: 
In VTK 5.10.1 (again, the bugtracker doesn't allow me to set that version
number), vtkXOpenGLRenderWindow.cxx:

   1991   switch (shape)
   1992     {
   1993     case VTK_CURSOR_CROSSHAIR: // XC_crosshair sucks on linux, default
to arrow
   1994     case VTK_CURSOR_ARROW:
   1995       if (!this->XCArrow)
   1996         {
   1997         this->XCArrow = XCreateFontCursor(this->DisplayId,
XC_top_left_arrow);
   1998         }
   1999       XDefineCursor(this->DisplayId, this->WindowId, this->XCArrow);
   2000       break;

This makes no sense these days with cursor themes. A simple tentative fix is
attached.
