Ok, this sounds a little obscure.  It looks like the mouse plugin isn't
linked to libXcursor, but is relying on xfce-mcs-manager to be linked to
it to provide the symbols, which probably isn't a good idea (and is
probably my unintentional fault).  I'm still not sure why it's not
loading the lib on demand, assuming xfce-mcs-manager is linked to it
(which may or may not be the case; if not, I'm confused as to why it's
loading that plugin at all).

Anyway, let's see...  Can you file a bug on bugzilla.xfce.org about
this?  Feel free to assign it to me.  I can add an explicit link to
libXcursor for the plugin, but I'd like someone to build an FC4 RPM out
of it to make sure it does the trick.
