Thanks. Thanks to Conrad's suggestion, I figured out a potential though not
ideal solution:

    wait_Dialog.dispose();
    this.setCursor(Cursor.getDefaultCursor());
    this.setVisible(false);
    this.setVisible(true);

You get an exceptionally brief flicker of the window, but in my mind that's
better than not losing the hourglass.

i still think there has to be a better way, maybe involving throwing a
mouse_move event.  I don't know how to do this, though.  If you have any more
ideas or successes, please post them here.  Thanks.
