Here's a simple usage that you can try in your interactive interpreter:

from Tkinter import *
root=Tk()
root.config(cursor="watch")

Now slide the mouse over the Tk window. Other cursor shapes include
"pencil", "pirate", "gumby", "top_left_arrow". I'm getting this list
from my "Practical Programming in Tcl and Tk" book, and they're also
listed in /usr/X11/include/X11/cursorfont.h on my setup.
