AFAIK, that issue was re-resolved without that strange ID thing. :) 
Actually it was integer referring to mouse cursor constant.

I don't know, but I guess cursor won't change so often
that it would be a problem...

AFAIK, comparing strings isn't cheap either.

But then we should define somewhere all possible mouse cursor strings. So, 
using awt cursor would be easy as long as the default system cursors are 
enough. And still there is mysterious "custom cursor".

Should we have both? Interface for using AWT Cursor or pure string?

Ok. I can comment them :) I still need them to remember all the places 
this affects. It took some time for me to find out them all ;)
