Just one note: Using setCursor() on a component will only change the
cursor when it is over that component. As far as I know, the only way to
do this for all components would be to traverse the component hierarchy
and set the cursor for each component.
However, if you are using Swing, you can set the glass pane to visible,
and set the cursor for the glass pane. When you do this, you may also
want to add a "dummy" MouseListener to the glass pane, which will prevent
components from getting any mouse events.
