It's not, it's <X11/cursorfont.h> which isn't currently exported by  
X11.  Since only one entry is being used, it's being specified locally  
but in a way which will avoid collisions if cursorfont is added to X11  
later.  (I doubt it's a high priority.)

It's only low level in the sense that X11's cursor stuff is rather  
primitive (in several senses of the term).
