I got these warnings in the Chrome browser after enabling and loading
some cursor files to wiki-devel:
(http://wiki-devel.sugarlabs.org/go/Special:NewFiles)

Arrow.cur   Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME
type application/octet-stream.
Text.cur   Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME
type application/octet-stream.
Help.cur   Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME
type application/octet-stream.
Pointer.cur   Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME
type application/octet-stream.
Web.cur   Resource interpreted as image but transferred with MIME type
application/octet-stream.

Is this patch appropriate,

or should more (especially for sugar/xo types) be done as suggested by the
/etc/mime.types header? :

###############################################################################
#
#  MIME-TYPES and the extensions that represent them
#
#  This file is part of the "mime-support" package.  Please send email (not a
#  bug report) to mime-support at packages.debian.org if you would like new types
#  and/or extensions to be added.
#
#  The reason that all types are managed by the mime-support package instead
#  allowing individual packages to install types in much the same way as they
#  add entries in to the mailcap file is so these types can be referenced by
#  other programs (such as a web server) even if the specific support package
#  for that type is not installed.
