Bug Description

Custom mouse cursors of X apps never shown under Unity8.

Test case:
  Run 'bitmap' which is a native X app with several cursors:

Expected: Hand cursor in menus, crosshair cursor in drawing area, up/down/left/right arrow cursors when dragging handles.
Observed: Cursor never changes from the default if run under Unity8+Xmir

It does however work in Mir demo servers with Xmir.

Confusingly this fix is documented in the changelog as first appearing in:
  qtmir (0.4.8+16.10.20160730-0ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium
However that release never existed. yakkety is really still on version:
  qtmir (0.4.8+16.10.20160714-0ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium
So you won't see any fix for this bug in yakkety for real till:
  qtmir (0.4.8+16.10.20160810-0ubuntu1) yakkety; urgency=medium

Confirmed this bug is fixed in yakkety today.

Weirdly though its cousin bug 1604701 is not fixed.
