** Miscellaneous problems
+*** 'set-mouse-color' and the '-ms' command line argument do not work.
+
+Systems where the default cursors are not simple 1 bit-per-pixel
+bitmaps usually forbid recoloring the cursor, since it is unclear
+which colors should replace those already present within each cursor
+image. For example, 'set-mouse-color' and '-ms' have no function on X
+systems with GNOME, KDE, and other recent desktop environments
+employing cursor images containing colors and partial transparency.
+
+Changing the cursor color is also impossible on MS-Windows and PGTK
+systems. In the former case, it is because the prerequisite code has
+yet to be written. In the latter, it is because GTK does not provide
+for changing the color of cursor images.
