You'll need a newer version of xfixes and it's a bug that the configure
script doesn't check for this. However, that cursor code is not yet used
so I just disabled the call to XFixesHideCursor for now. If you get the
latest changes it should not be a problem anymore. configure.ac should
be adjusted to require a newer version of xfixes once we enable this
cursor code.
