As a workaround, the attached patch resets the cursor to its original
arrow shape when it moves into the main gdkwindow.
I've tested this in vmware and it does make the cursor switch back
sometimes, but very unreliably. Most of the time I still have an "I"
where you'd want an arrow.
It's also extremely unpredictable: sometimes when you move from one area
to another the cursor changes back, on other occasions it does not.
During localechooser I could hardly get the cursor correct at all, later
it was a bit better.
It also seems to change late sometimes ("long" after you've already
crossed over to another area). The overall effect is very erratic.
Also, if you go from description _around_ e.g. a text input box, the
cursor will not change.
Personally I'd prefer to keep the current behavior over a hack that only
half works. If you can improve the patch, that'd be different of course.
