Hm... I did not know it had to be a GdkWindow. I dit put a
GdkDrawable *drawable inside my application and in this window
the cursor was changed. So that was the problem. But how do I change
my applicaton so I have a new cursor all the time.

The thing is that I am building an "embedded" application that shall
run on a panel pc and I don't whant the window-manager at all. So I
get X Windows ordinary cursor (an X type cursor) and I want to change
this into an arrow.
