Not really.

I think we should do one of two things:
1) Remove that cursor-names interface entirely and just rely on getting 
a BufferStream for the cursor, or,
2) If the *shell* wants to use the named-cursor support (I don't 
believe it does?) then we should install an xcursor theme on the phone 
and remove BuiltinCursorImage.
