Jehan fc063cb2ca app: use the unobtrusive cursor only in no-pointer+no-outline case.
We take a step back from the original MR which was proposing the "single
dot" cursor as a new "Pointer mode" option. I was really unsure this was
the best solution, especially reading again the whole original report.
It means that now nearly all of the original patch has been rewritten
another way, but let's leave the contributor commit as a start point to
get to where we are, and as acknowledgement of the contribution.

The reporter was annoyed by the crosshair when none were requested and
probably mostly for painting tools only (at least examples were about
brush or pencil, etc.) while showing outline. It looks to me like the
real issue was maybe when we were showing the big crosshair when using
the 4-arc fallback outline, for instance when using a dynamics changing
size. If so, this main issue is already fixed by my commit 64dc26064b.
No need of a new option for this, especially if the option can be as
confusing as a barely visible dot-cursor (I can already imagine the bug
reports of people tweaking random preferences and unhappy because the
pointer became invisible, while they don't know how they did it).

Instead I would say that when people specifically uncheck both "Show
brush outline" and "Show pointer" options, showing a huge crosshair
feels quite counter-productive. This is where I think that our small
unobtrusive cursor (probably a better name than "Single dot" by the way,
as it's not a single dot anymore) might be of use, the ultimate case
when someone really want a cursor as inconspicuous as possible, while
still having a visible feedback of the pointer position (even with
display-tablets, parallax issues make such a visual feedback important
to target where one paints).
So let's try this first and see how it goes.

                   ------------------------------
                   GNU Image Manipulation Program
                      2.99 Development Branch
                   ------------------------------

This is an unstable development release, an intermediate state on the
way to the next stable release: GIMP 3. GIMP 2.99 may or may not do what
you expect. Save your work early and often. If you want a stable
version, please use GIMP 2.10 instead.

If you think you found a bug in this version, please make sure that it
hasn't been reported earlier and that it is not just new stuff that is
still being worked on and obviously not quite finished yet.

If you want to hack on GIMP, please read the file devel-docs/README.md.
For detailed installation instructions, see the file INSTALL.


1. Web Resources
================

GIMP's home page is at:

	https://www.gimp.org/

Please be sure to visit this site for information, documentation,
tutorials, news, etc.  All things GIMP-ish are available from there.

There you can get the latest versions of plug-ins, using a convenient
forms-based interface.

The latest version of GIMP can be found at:

	https://www.gimp.org/downloads/


2. Mailing Lists
================

We have several mailing lists dedicated to GIMP user and development
discussion.  There is more info at

	https://www.gimp.org/mail_lists.html

Links to several archives of the mailing lists are included in that page.

Gimp-user-list is a mailing list dedicated to user problems, hints and
tips, discussion of cool effects, etc.  Gimp-developer-list is oriented
to GIMP core and plug-in developers.  Gimp-gui-list is for discussing
about GIMP interface to improve user experience. Most people will only
want to be subscribed to gimp-user-list. If you want to help develop
GIMP, the gimp-developer mailing list is a good starting point; if you
want to help with GUI design, the gimp-gui list is where you want to
subscribe.


3. IRC
======

And finally, for the real junkies, there is an IRC channel devoted to
GIMP. On GIMPNet (a private free software oriented network) there is
#gimp.  Many of the developers hang out there.  Some of the GIMPNet
servers are:

	irc.gimp.org:6667
	irc.us.gimp.org:6667
	irc.eu.gimp.org:6667


4. Customizing
==============

The look of GIMP's interface can be customized like any other GTK+ app
by editing files in `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/gtk-3.0/` (settings.ini and
gtk.css in particular) or by using "themes" (ready-made customizations).
Additionally, GIMP reads `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/gimp.css` so you
can have settings that only apply to GIMP.

You can also manually change the keybindings to any of your choice by
editing: `${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/GIMP/2.99/menurc`.


Have fun,
