Re: [XFree86] Where's the cursor?

  It looks like the render extension cursors are merely generated
from .png files and don't use an intermediate format.  The Bluecurve cursors
don't ship with XFree86, but that ones that do (Whiteglass, Redglass)
are in the server tree at xc/programs/xcursorgen/whiteglass/...

  Render extension cursors are something I personally don't know
much about, so I don't know if there's a utility to extract data
from the .xcf files.
