gdk-pixbuf has image/x-icon as an alias for image/x-ico. Also, it has magic: static GdkPixbufModulePattern signature[] = { { " \x1 ", "zz znz", 100 }, { " \x2 ", "zz znz", 100 }, { NULL, NULL, 0 } }; It is possible that one of the magic strings matches .cur files instead, since the ico loader also loads those.
The first one is for icons, the second one for cursor (double-checked on filext.com). * freedesktop.org.xml.in: Add magic from gdk-pixbuf for ICO and CUR files, spotted by Matthias Clasen <mclasen@redhat.com> (Closes: #16413) * tests/aero_alt.cur: * tests/list: Add a test windows cursor file
