Hi Vincent!

My first answer would be that this seems like a good use for Plan 7: if
you make all three requests Checked and then call XCBRequestCheck on
each void cookie, you'll find out where the error occurred.

I believe your bug is that no font exists named "XC_hand1":

~$ xlsfonts XC_\*
xlsfonts: pattern "XC_*" unmatched

According to Tronche, "X provides a set of standard cursor shapes in a
special font named cursor."

http://the-labs.com/X11/XLib-Manual/pixmap-and-cursor/XCreateFontCursor.html

~$ xlsfonts -l cursor
DIR  MIN  MAX EXIST DFLT PROP ASC DESC NAME
-->    0  153   all    0    9  16   17 cursor

Other than that, I don't see anything wrong with your code -- but then
I've never written cursor-using code for X. :-)
