xsetroot blank cursor file

Hi,

I found a workaround for this bug.
The idea is to hide the X cursor, for this you need the attached file, save it
to your game directory, for example.
Then start your game like this:

# change to game directory
cd ${HOSP_DIR}
# hide the X cursor
xsetroot -cursor emptycursor emptycursor
# start the game
wine Hospital.exe
# restore the original cursor in X
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr

As you can see i tried it with Theme Hospital, probably this will work with
other games too.

Have a nice day, Bud
