[pygtk] How to get cursor/mouse-pointer image (pixbuf) for an application window.

[Osmo Maatta]

Hello,

I would like to get cursor/mouse-pointer image for an application window 
in Linux. 
I have studied several libraries that support Python, but haven't found 
a suitable function to read Cursor or Pointer image.

PyGTK : http://www.pygtk.org/docs/pygtk/index.html  No success.
Wnck python library: 
http://library.gnome.org/devel/libwnck/stable/index.html  No success.
Xlib Python: http://python-xlib.sourceforge.net/doc/html/index.html Did 
not find it. Can this be right?

I've done it in c-code earlier and it works well.
The c-code is here: 
http://code.google.com/p/gscreendump/source/browse/trunk/src/sd_xutils.c

GdkPixbuf *get_cursor_pixbuf(Display *display, GdkWindow *gdk_win, gint 
*cursor_x,
                 gint *cursor_y, gint *offset_x , gint *offset_y/*x-y 
hot spot */)
{
        GdkWindow *gdk_root = gdk_get_default_root_window();

        /* Cursor image */
        GdkPixbuf *cursor_pixbuf = NULL;

        /* Check if the XFIXES extension is present in the Xorg. */
        int event, error;
        if (XFixesQueryExtension(display, &event, &error))
        {
                XFixesCursorImage *cur = XFixesGetCursorImage(display);

                *cursor_x = cur->x;
                *cursor_y = cur->x;
                *offset_x = cur->xhot;
                *offset_y = cur->yhot;

                /* Convert root co-ordinate (x,y) to child window 
co-ordinates */
                Window child_w;
                XTranslateCoordinates(display, 
GDK_WINDOW_XWINDOW(gdk_root), GDK_WINDOW_XWINDOW(gdk_win), cur->x, 
cur->y, cursor_x, cursor_y,  &child_w);

I would like to use a Python library on Linux.
Can you help?
My system is: Ubuntu 9.04 64bit.
