grabbing the mouse cursor

I'm making a radically advanced help system for linux.
Is there a way to grab the current mouse cursor icon?  (either by id or 
picture)   Or grab an entire screenshot with the current mouse pointer 
(hourglass, pointer, etc.)?

XQueryPointer - only tells the mouse position
XGetImage - grabs the screen without the mouse
XGetWindowAttributes - doesn't return a needed Cursor

Do I have to manually hack the X server code?  If so, any suggestions on 
what to do?

Thanks!
Chris
