[Mono-winforms-list] Cursor.Hide Not working

[Stifu]

Actually, that's what proposed in the WinForms sources...

https://github.com/mono/mono/blob/master/mcs/class/Managed.Windows.Forms/System.Windows.Forms/XplatUIX11.cs

		internal override void ShowCursor(bool show)
		{
			;	// FIXME - X11 doesn't 'hide' the cursor. we could create an empty
cursor
		}
