Well go up in the Gtk2::Window hierarchy to Gtk2::Widget

It's at the bottom of "perldoc Gtk2::Widget". 

The names of the available cursors are in "perldoc Gtk2::Gdk::Cursor".
I don't see an hourglass, but one of them might look like one.

   # change cursor
   $widget->window->set_cursor ( Gtk2::Gdk::Cursor -> new("watch") );
  
   # change it back
   $widget->window->set_cursor (undef);
