This is a left over from bug 477014. (see bug 477014 comment #4 etc)

Detaching a busy tab to a new window leaves the pointer as an hourglass when over the chrome of the donor window.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open window with two tabs
2. Load a slow page in one tab (eg http://hg.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/annotate/907dbdbd084f/browser/base/content/tabbrowser.xml )
3. While the tab is "busy" drag to open a new window
4. Hover the chrome of the first window
Actual Results:  
Mouse pointer shows an an hourglass

Expected Results:  
Mouse pointer as a pointer

Not quite how I imagined it - but bug 481359 has removed the hourglass; I can't see any other manifestations of the problem at the moment so ...

=> Fixed by bug 481359 :-]

It does occur if ui.use_activity_cursor is set true; So it will become an issue again if the default setting is changed in bug 482985.
