Excellent point. Except that the mixed messages of an hourglass cursor and an active button make my head reel.

    The Tk faq mentions configuring the cursor. Very possibly your system has a "busy, but what do you want?" cursor like an hourglass *and* a pointer. Perhaps you could use that?

    My own experience with GUIs was with GTK, so I haven't actually tried this. YMMV.
