	I have a window which has an area in which text is edited(not a widget
because of the nature of the editing), two scrollbars which aren't
window decorations, a button, and an area with some labels:

When the mouse is over the editing area, I set the cursor to be an
i-beam.  When it's not I set the cursor to be an arrow.  The only
problem is, that I don't get informed when the mouse moves over the
scroll bars or the button, so if it moves from the editing area to the
scroll bars, it stays an i-beam, which looks kind of silly.  Is there
any way to set the cursor for the button & scroll bar widgets?  From
reading the documentation, it doesn't look like XmNarmCallback,
XmNactivate Callback, or XmNdisarmCallback will do this for me.  Also, I
can't see where there is a resource for a PushButton or ScrollBar widget
that sets the cursor.  

	So, any suggestions (other than the obvious "don't use an i-beam ;-)? 
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
