Description Danni H 2019-06-22 16:38:33 UTC 
I swear this worked the other day, but it seems after a recent package update in Arch Linux, SDL2 is no longer able to create a system cursor.

How to reproduce:

1. Install the Rust programming language
2. git clone https://gitlab.com/cosmicchipsocket/keeshond.git
3. cd keeshond
4. cargo run --example imgui --features="imgui_integration"

On my system, the following warning appears:

[ WARN  keeshond::imgui_handler ] Could not create system cursor: CreateSystemCursor is not currently supported

From this line:

https://gitlab.com/cosmicchipsocket/keeshond/blob/master/keeshond/src/imgui_handler.rs#L73

This was initially a fatal error that I had to change to a warning because of this issue. Rebooting system did not resolve the issue.

Please ignore, I was trying to get a system cursor before initializing the video subsystem.
