    I am writing a motif application which has many top-level windows.
    I would like to have the pointer change to a watch in all those windows
    to notify the user to wait.  Unfotunately, it looks to me like you have
    to do a XDefineCursor using the window ID for EACH of the popup windows
    to get that to happen.  Is there anyway around this?  I tried using the
    toplevel widget returned from XtInitialize, but that only changes the
    pointer for that window.  

As far as I know, that's correct. So I ended up with writing a little
extra code which maintains a list of windows and when asked, change
the cursor of all those windows to either a watch or an arrow.
