For a quick fix, could the buttons on any existing "choose govt" dialog
box be disabled at the same time your pointer patch changes the cursor?

As for the pointer patch itself, the cursor only changes when its over
the main window; over the "choose govt" box, it was still a normal
arrow, so it looked like it was "ok" to click.  And I prefer the
GDK_WATCH for a "busy, don't click" cursor.

If its not fixed before release, then a mention in BUGS of timing issues
might be appropriate, and the cursor change is good to show that the
client is doing something.
