I’ve slightly modified the testgl.c program that comes with the sdl source to use SDL_image’s IMG_LOAD function instead of SDL_LoadBMP. but when I run it the logocursor has a background and is no longer alpha transparent. You can find the source in the tests folder in the SDL-1.X.XX.tar.gz package.
bellow is a snippet of the relevant code.

depending on how you have your OpenGL state set up.
*/

glDisable(GL_DEPTH_TEST);
glDisable(GL_CULL_FACE);
glEnable(GL_TEXTURE_2D);
/* This allows alpha blending of 2D textures with the scene */
glEnable(GL_BLEND);
glBlendFunc(GL_SRC_ALPHA, GL_ONE_MINUS_SRC_ALPHA);
