This bug is similar to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1542289 / https://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/xfixes/cursor.c?id=ceaf4277447407a7430b9bc3205462fbdbae0e39, but this is still a problem with 1.20. I have an animated cursor theme where the cursor animates only every ~8 seconds or so. In this case, XFixesGetCursorImage will return a 1x1 invisible cursor until 8 seconds has passed. This worked correctly with Xorg server 1.14.
Created attachment 141602 [details] Gold theme - tar.bz2 of ~/.icons The attached theme triggers the bug, for example when moving from the URL field in Firefox to a blank area in a new tab. Verified in XFCE on CentOS 6.
