+    7.14  How do I define the hot-spot in an XPM cursor.
+
+   Fvwm allows you to use a pixmap as a mouse cursor.  For example,
+   the command:
+
+     CursorStyle ROOT xterm.xpm
+
+   Sets the root mouse cursor to the image of a terminal.
+   Normally the actual pixel the mouse cursor points to is the center
+   of the pixmap.  This pixel in the mouse cursor is called the
+   hot-spot.  If you want the hot-spot to be somewhere other than
+   the center of the image, you can use a GUI that supports setting
+   the hot-spot, or you can edit the XPM file with an editor.
+
+   If the XPM image is in version 3 format, there's a line that contains
+   the width, height, number of colors and the characters per color
+   in the image:
+
+     static char * image_name [] = {
+     "64 38 8 1",
+
+   To put the hot-spot in the upper left, change this to:
+
+     static char * image_name [] = {
+     "64 38 8 1 0 0 XPMEXT",
+
+   Notice that the hot-spot is an offset, relative to zero.
