I'm on the other side; I know the protocol, but I'm not too familiar
with Xlib. From reading the docs, it looks somewhat like XDefineCursor
is a wrapper/helper around XChangeWindowAttributes. If so, the XCB
function you want is xcb_change_window_attributes(XCB_CW_CURSOR).

xcb_aux_change_window_attributes from xcb/util/aux is a slightly more
Xlib-like version of the same thing, if you prefer.
