From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

If I recall correctly, GTK was initially against cursor-shape (because GTK prefers doing things client side), but is now opening to merging it. But not a high priority. The last discussion I found about it was from 5-6 months ago.
Oh I'd love to create my own svg cursor but I don't know how. If anybody could help let me know.
The linked article does a great job explaining the process of creating a theme assuming you have the SVG files. If you are asking how to create SVG files, then just use any vector editor (like Inkscape, for instance). You can find plenty of tutorials on how to create vectors through online video tutorials.
