Make a b/w image (16x16 pixel) of your cursor on a separate layer, just 
to keep
transparency...

Then "Save for web" as gif, 2 colors, check transparency...

Then import this image as an embedded image.

Now here's the final trick :-):

Open the paint tools.
Choose the brush or the eraser tool
Click on your image ONCE and IMMEDIATELY UNDO your action!

This way that image will be converted to RR internal image-format and
can then be used as a cursor wihout problems...


on preopenstack ## or whenever
    set the defaultcursor to xxx
    ## the id of your cursor img
    ...
end preopenstack


I did it before and it works like a charm :-)
