When I set the cursor on my application to a busy cursor, and I move the
mouse around, I notice that the Text fields still have their normal cursor - and
not the busy cursor.

This behaviour is seen on Unix as well as on NT.

import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

public class cursortest extends Frame implements WindowListener, ActionListener
{
	Button   bdat= new Button("Start Busy");
	public cursortest()
	{

		bdat.addActionListener(this);
		Panel p = new Panel();
		p.setLayout( new BorderLayout() );

		add( p );
		p.add( "North", bdat );
		p.add( "Center", new TextArea( 20, 20 ) );
		addWindowListener(this);
	}

	public void windowClosed(WindowEvent event) {
	}

	public void windowOpened(WindowEvent event) {
	}

	public void windowIconified(WindowEvent event) {

	public void windowActivated(WindowEvent event) {
	}

	public void windowDeactivated(WindowEvent event) {
	}

	public void windowClosing(WindowEvent event) {
			System.exit(0);
	}

	public void actionPerformed( ActionEvent event)
	{
		Object source = event.getSource();
		if ( source == bdat)
		{
			setCursor( Cursor.getPredefinedCursor( Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR ) );
			System.out.println("Starting Sleep for 5 seconds ...");
			System.out.println("Remember to remove your hand from the mouse");
			try { Thread.sleep(5000); } catch( InterruptedException e ){ }
			System.out.println("Done sleeping");
			setCursor( Cursor.getPredefinedCursor( Cursor.DEFAULT_CURSOR ) );
		}
	}

	public static void main( String args[] )
	{
		Frame f = new cursortest();
		f.setSize( 200, 200 );
		f.show();
	}
}
