Good catch! This sounds very possible. When I tried gdb on this, I just got
lots of waiting threads, but didn't notice any of the cursor hiding stuff.

Not yet...  (it is probably easiest to uncomment all setCursor calls in
Niffler.java).

I hope that get/setCursor is considered a thread-safe AWT operation. Using
SwingUtilities.invokeLater would probably not help, or would it?
