The logic to allow src/wayland to update the pointer cursor changed to bypassing grabs in commit e69e4fa6, since it is nowadays the responsibility of the DnD source to update the pointer cursor in reaction to the negotiated action. This is not entirely correct, and was done at the expense of regressions. Change the logic so we explicitly check for a DnD grab existing, or use the active focus instead (i.e. grab-aware). This fixes the regression, and keep DnD cursor icons working. This is a partial revert of commit e69e4fa6dbbd62677de61bcd2f5f3bec515e79ce.

Mutter
Mutter is a Wayland display server and X11 window manager and compositor library.
When used as a Wayland display server, it runs on top of KMS and libinput. It implements the compositor side of the Wayland core protocol as well as various protocol extensions. It also has functionality related to running X11 applications using Xwayland.
When used on top of Xorg it acts as a X11 window manager and compositing manager.
It contains functionality related to, among other things, window management, window compositing, focus tracking, workspace management, keybindings and monitor configuration.
Internally it uses a fork of Cogl, a hardware acceleration abstraction library used to simplify usage of OpenGL pipelines, as well as a fork of Clutter, a scene graph and user interface toolkit.
Mutter is used by, for example, GNOME Shell, the GNOME core user interface, and by Gala, elementary OS's window manager. It can also be run standalone, using the command "mutter", but just running plain mutter is only intended for debugging purposes.
