I want to change the cursor to an hourglass while our application does
something that takes a while. It is a Motif application with many
widgets. Do I have to do an XDefineCursor on the window of every
widget in the program?? This seems like a Royal Pain.
XtGrabPointer would do it in one call, but it would block input to all
other applications.

Create an InputOnly window as a child of your top-level window with the cursor set to the hourglass. Then simply XMapRaised the thing and unmap it when you're through. -- (I kid you not)Tom LaStrange toml@Solbourne.COM
