Hi.

I have a multi top-level window application (X11.R3, Xt, Athena Widgets).
Sometimes, I want to change the cursor briefly for all of my windows in
order to put up a "busy cursor".  Currently, I am doing it by grabbing
the mouse.  This, of course, has the undesirable side effect of grabbing
focus (under some window managers).  I really only want the cursor to
be effected for my client's windows.  I know I could do this with
XDefineCursor for each of my windows (including child windows).  Is there
any more efficient way to do a client wide XDefineCursor?

Thanks.
