This ought to be a patch for the X11 library, perhaps a new module under
Graphics.X11.ExtraTypes?  The maintainers and hackers of X11 all work on
xmonad, so we can make sure that a new release of X11 is made in order for us
to use the new cursor fonts.

Also, can you send your patches in darcs patch form?

Quick quide:

    $ darcs get http://code.haskell.org/XMonadContrib # grab the repo
    $ vi foo # make your edits
    $ darcs record # interactively make a patch out of your changes
    $ darcs send -o mypatch.dpatch # make a file you can email


Cheers,
