Rich,

thanks for your reply. I did what you suggested and wrote a method
like that:

private void setCursorAll(Container container, Cursor cursor) {
    for (int i = 0; i < container.getComponentCount(); i++) {
      if (container.getComponent(i) instanceof Container) {
         //call us recursivly     
         setCursorAll((Container)container.getComponent(i), cursor);
      }
      container.getComponent(i).setCursor(cursor);
    }
  }

Setting everything to WAIT_CURSOR is easy - passing the frame as first
parameter. But I don't see a  way back: re-setting all component's
cursor to their individual default. 
There's just no Component.getDefaultCursor(), only
Cursor.getDefaultCursor() which e.g. doesn't fit for editfields
(default: TEXT_CURSOR).

Any ideas other than hardcoding all the possible component types with
their matching default cursors?

Thanks for your time!
Torsten
