You can only access your own cursor that way (that of the screenshot
plug-in). The point of a screenshot application is though to grab
screenshots of other applications. gdk_cursor_get_image() won't work for
that.

Did you check if kscreenshot does actually show the correct cursor? I
suspect what they are doing is to simply paste a default cursor image on
the screenshot. You can already do that easily in GIMP after you have
taken the screenshot.
