The standard cursors available.

<!-- ##### FUNCTION gdk_cursor_new ##### -->
<para>
Creates a new standard cursor.
</para>

@cursor_type: the type of the cursor.
@Returns: a new #GdkCursor.


<!-- ##### FUNCTION gdk_cursor_new_from_pixmap ##### -->
<para>
Creates a new cursor from a given pixmap and mask. Both the pixmap and mask
must have a depth of 1 (i.e. each pixel has only 2 values - on or off).
The standard cursor size is 16 by 16 pixels.

@source: the pixmap specifying the cursor.
@mask: the pixmap specifying the mask, which must be the same size as @source.
@fg: the foreground color, used for the bits in the source which are 1.
The color does not have to be allocated first.
@bg: the background color, used for the bits in the source which are 0.
The color does not have to be allocated first.
@x: the horizontal offset of the 'hotspot' of the cursor.
@y: the vertical offset of the 'hotspot' of the cursor.
@Returns: a new #GdkCursor.
