Summary: Questions about the Zz sprite?

All this talk about the Intuition pointer, SetPointer, ClearPointer,
reminds me that I don't recall ever seeing any documentation about
the little snoring cloud that shows up in place of the arrow/whatever
when the system is "busy".

Some questions:

	What constitutes "busy"?  Who determines it?  What causes
	the pointer to change?  What does it really mean, anyway?

	Is that image changeable/settable?  (It doesn't show up in
	preferences, like the regular pointer image.)  If so, how?

	Is it invokable from an application?  If so, how?

Anybody know anything about this gizmo?
