It's sad the situation is so confusing. Maybe a new mouse cursor API could be
created that accepts normal alpha, as this is the common way to store it (in
PNG files for example)? With a conversion to what the hardware expects, of
course. It looks like a lot of developers are unable to correctly use an API
that expects premultiplied alpha, with the additional difficulty that the
documentation does not say it explicitly.

Regarding Wayland, I opened a ticket to ask for a documentation update, as an
attempt to avoid the same confusion we have now with X. Hopefully the
documentation maintainer will be sensitive to the problem.

Anyway, I tested your branch (cursor-unpremultiply-overflow-no-gamma) and
unfortunately it freezes my system as soon as the Civilization VI cursor is
about to be shown.
