Cursor for gtkentry

["Ian King [ES]" <king eiffel com>]

Hi all,

Is it possible to change the cursor for a GtkEntry widget,  for an
application I have I need to display a wait cursor while background
processing commences, however when the mouse pointer is hovering over the
text entry the cursor changes to the caret cursor even though I have
explicitly set it beforehand to an hourglass cursor.

Any help is much appreciated.

Thanks

IEK
