I have also desired such a thing.  However, I don't think you can do 
it that way.  You  might try creating an input-only window
over all of your application windows and set the Cursor to whatever
you want for the input-only window.  This assumes, of course, that you
want to do somehting like display an hourglass while you do something
lengthy.  I don't know if this will work, but maybe it will.
