The cursor image is fixed in screenshots

When capturing screenshots including the cursor, the final image does not reflect what's shown on the screen.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Launch "gnome-screenshot" in interactive mode;
2. set a delay and start the capture;
3. go over an link in a web page (or make the cursor change in any other way) before the actual screenshot is taken.

The expected result would be to see the left hand as a mouse cursor image, instead the normal arrow gets drawn.

See the attached image.

FWICS this is because gnome-flashback hardcodes the cursor name in gnome-flashback/libscreenshot/gf-screenshot.c::take_screenshot_real() like this:

cursor = gdk_cursor_new_for_display (display, GDK_LEFT_PTR);

I see that gnome-shell solves this by asking mutter about the cursor, GStreamer ximagesrc (in gst-plugins-good) uses XFixes directly instead.

Thanks,
   Antonio
