Animated cursors?

Sorry if this has been covered already, but what's wrong with having an
animated GIF as a cursor? The browsers already support it as an image
format, why couldn't they use it for a cursor? Does it have to do with the
CompuServe copyright?

Thanks.
James

well, X11 doesn't support colors as a cursor, also animated cursors are
impossible afaik. Both is possible with .ani or .cur on Windows, this
makes it quite difficult to have plattform independant cursors.
