This is true; however (and as I mentioned), there are other programs which
extend this, such as the animated cursors program.

From a quick net search:

xacursor-1.0        Set an animated cursor in a window
xancur-1.4          X11 root cursor animation program
xaniroc-1.02        Yet another animated root cursor

Maybe none of these are appropriate, but I'm sure one must exist...
