Whenever I start up the Motif window manager, the X cursor temporarily changes
to an hourglass shape.  However, the graphic for the hourglass seems to change
depending on what server I am running.  (I use either 800x600 VGA or 1024x726
8514.)  Is the hourglass cursor built into the server?  Is there any way for my
application to turn it on and off (for time intensive tasks)?  I've looked
through the set of cursor fonts, and it isn't there.  Who defines it?

I am currently using ISC's X11R3 v1.1 and ISC's Motif V1.0

Any help would be appreciated.
