I too went into Finder and pasted in the Yin-Yang cursor set, and sure
enough, the rotating watch hands were all replaced--except one.  One
of the cursors in the sequence was still the watch.

Eventually I discovered the `acur' resource in the Finder.  It tells
the Finder how many frames there are in the animation, and which
cursors to use.  One of the cursor id's didn't refer to my Yin-Yang
cursors, so I changed it so that it did.  Now it works.  

Now my problem is that bunches of applications have discovered that
animated cursors are neat and have done their own, so if I want to get
rid of all the watches I need to dig inside each program.

Note: To do this you will have to use ResEdit--so add all the usual
disclaimers about how you can hang yourself with it if you don't know
what you are doing.
