Answering my own question in case it saves someone else some time down the
line. It's really too easy! Not sure why this is not the first hit on
google already. With this code you can load any png image as a custom
cursor.
filename = sys.path[0] + "/image.png"
cur=gtk.gdk.Cursor(gtk.gdk.display_get_default(),gtk.gdk.pixbuf_new_from_file(filename),5,5)
self.window.window.set_cursor(cur)
