How to draw a cursor in Mir client side?

[Daniel van Vugt]

Leslie,

We don't yet have a client API for changing the cursor. I think we 
discussed it but can't find the plans documented officially. Just stub 
it and let GTK pretend that the cursor has changed.

You can see the same issue is blocking XMir:
[raof] XMir hardware cursor support: BLOCKED
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/client-1310-mir-xmir

Does anyone know where the work item is or should be?
