It's the latter :-)

The Qt theme support still doesn't address cursor themeability.  When I put
KCursor in the libs, it was with the intention of having a themeable cursor.
Unfortunately, my ideas at the time didn't make much sense, so this class
doesn't (and won't) do too much..

HOWEVER, it does *one* very important thing and that is supply a
"windows-style" hand cursor.  Qt only supplies the "Unix" hand cursor (which
many of us think is butt-ugly).  Until there is a way to theme all of the
cursors, we need to keep KCursor if only for the hand...
