Re: cursor manipulation

It's possible the lack of an update() is what is needed, but note that
setting the cursor on the toplevel (I'm assuming that's what type $wDB is)
only applies the cursor to descendants that do not have their own cursor
type set. Widgets like entry and text have their own cursor type, so you'd
need a utility procedure to manage a full widget tree.
