Probably Toolkit.createCustomCursor() should check that the custom
cursors are supported and getBestCursorSize() return non-empty size. If
the getBestCursorSize() returns the empty size then createCustomCursor()
should/could return Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR(or empty transparent cursor).
And this default cursor will be used in DragSource.
