Any way to shut it off?
I'm not 100% sure, but I believe that cursor is automatically used
when the application has stopped responding to events for some
length of time (5 seconds?). Any long-running task should probably
be handled in a separate thread from the one running the event loop,
so that the application can still respond to events.
