You need to define "set up"; this isn't really a well-defined
concept. You might go with "until the program maps a window", in
which case this script might work for you (untested):
#!/bin/sh
xsetroot -cursor_name watch
xtoolwait "$@"
xsetroot -cursor_name left_ptr
You need to install xtoolwait for this. But then you'd set your
desktop icons to run this script with the desired program as a
command-line parameter.
