Description Murray Cumming 2003-09-19 12:36:53 UTC 
It would be nice to have a busy/interactive cursor, such as a watch with an
arrow next to it, for use when the application is busy but is not blocking
the UI. For instance, it might be called GDK_WATCH_INTERACTIVE.

By the way, this is the list of current cursors in GDK:

Look at 69436 for a long discussion of a useful set of cursors.

You can get a wait+interactive cursor with

gdk_cursor_new_from_name (display, "left_ptr_watch")
