Yes, I appreciate that on SPARCs with suitable hardware running Xsun.
One interesting side effect: if something was hung, rather than checking
if the cursor would move, you had to pay attention to see whether it changed
when moving into windows (like an xterm) where it would normally have
a different shape.
