+  /* #### autodetect is flawed IMO: 
+  1. It makes the assumption that you can detect whether the user
+  wanted a cursor or a string based on the data, since the data is a
+  string you have to prioritise cursors. Instead we will force users
+  to pick the appropriate image type, this is what we do under
+  MS-Windows anyway.
+  2. It doesn't fit with the new domain model - you cannot tell which
+  domain it needs to be instantiated in until you've actually
+  instantiated it, which mucks up caching.
+  3. It only copes with cursors and strings which seems bogus. */
