This is possibly a bug in the win32 port. If a cursor is not specified
for a particular GdkWindow, it is supposed to use the cursor of its parent
window (this is why you can change the default cursor in X by setting the
cursor for the root window). Unless you are setting the cursor on other
windows, it should work.
