It must depend on context. In X windows the cursor hotspot is
constrained to be on screen at all times. If you have the usual
pointer, then just its upper left little bit is always visible; all the
rest of it can disappear offscreen. But if the cursor is for example
the 'drag-a-windows-right-edge' (i.e. a right-facing arrow with a
short vertical line centred at its tip) then it's again the tip of the
arrow that can't go offscreen (i.e. the right centre of the icon). So
clearly it's the hostspot that is important in these circumstances, and
the position of the hotspot within the icon can be different. Certainly
not always at the centre.
