I use functions like this:
void set_wait_cursor(GtkWidget *w)
{
        GtkWidget *parent;
        GdkCursor* cursor;
        
        parent = gtk_widget_get_toplevel(w);
        if (parent != NULL) {
                cursor = gdk_cursor_new(GDK_WATCH);
                gdk_window_set_cursor(parent->window, cursor);
                gdk_cursor_destroy(cursor);
        }
}

void unset_wait_cursor(GtkWidget *w)
{
        GtkWidget *parent;

        parent = gtk_widget_get_toplevel(w);
        if (parent != NULL) {
                gdk_window_set_cursor(gtk_widget_get_toplevel(w)->window, NULL);
        }
}

Now, I can call either one from the event handler of any widget in my
program and pass that to these functions.
