These png images, to the best of my knowledge, do not end up in an actual build – the build scripts do some funky things with these and output a rather curious format (Xcursor I think), that seem to live in: /usr/share/icons/sugar/cursors Sure it all makes perfect sense for an X windows developer – there's probably some X library somewhere for reading them in and converting to other image representations.
