Those are the pictures used in the graphical editor, thus
it's probably not the problem.

It seems there is an error during X11's creation of a cursor,
but it's really hard to find what's going on without having
the software in front of me. I would guess that your running
on a 64 bit linux is probably the root cause of the problem,
i.e., one of your X11 libraries doesn't works well, or either,
there is a mess up with the size of the integer types compiled
by your GCC (by the way, X11 is notorious for using strange
integer lengths, like 16-bit lengths in some places: as soon
as some compiling adjustment policy deviates from the usual,
it could easily mess up everything. What I'm wondering is
why, in such a case, it didn't occurred early).
