Mouse pointer appearance problem

[Andreas Höschler]

Hi all,

usually the mouse pointer appears as a small black arrow. When clicking 
on a text field the mouse pointer is turned into a small vertical bar. 
When leaving the text field again, it should be turned back into a 
mouse pointer. This often does not happen. Can anybody confirm this? Is 
this or has this already being worked on?

Another but related issue is the hour glass known from Windows or Mac 
that gives the user visual feedabck of the main thread doing something 
time consuming. Under GNUstep we don't have that (right?) which lets 
the user think the application hangs if it does not react for 5 or more 
seconds. What had to be done to realize a hour glass for GNustep?

Thanks,

  Andreas
