The spinning blue thing might look nice on suitable background but it's a 
total disaster when you
1) Have a blueish background (for example RHEL 4u2 introduced this 
new thingy and the cursor completely vanishes into the default 
blue background)
2) Try to click on something when it's spinning. Why doesn't it have an 
arrow in it at all times, like it has for example on top of firefox 
window?

Well at least you could *see* where the cursor is with the spinning 
hourglass. It never bothered me, apart from suffering from the problem 2) 
above as well to some extent.
