libX11 should really load libXcursor.so.1, and it 'almost' does here:

open("/lib/libXcursor.so.1.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file or
directory)
stat64("/lib", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=4096, ...}) = 0
open("/usr/lib/libXcursor.so.1.0", O_RDONLY) = -1 ENOENT (No such file
or directory)
stat64("/usr/lib", {st_mode=S_IFDIR|0755, st_size=81920, ...}) = 0
munmap(0x302e1000, 87322)               = 0
open("/etc/ld.so.cache", O_RDONLY)      = 4
fstat64(4, {st_mode=S_IFREG|0644, st_size=87322, ...}) = 0
mmap(NULL, 87322, PROT_READ, MAP_PRIVATE, 4, 0) = 0x302e1000
close(4)                                = 0
open("/usr/X11R6/lib/libXcursor.so.1", O_RDONLY) = 4

No idea why it looks for libXcursor.so.1.0 in /usr/lib, but creating
that symlink it gets picked up.
