This seems to set the normal point. Is there a way to set the waiting
pointer? I don't like the circular one I get because it is hard to click
on items in size comparable to the circle. (It isn't obvious which part
of the circle is the tip of the pointer.) I currently use bluecurve with
a work around for a menu scrolling bug and the echo icon set. The pointer
seems to be dmz-aa.
