I have a simple testcase that creates a Dialog with two buttons that
allows the user to change the cursor type. The testcase works as expected
in Windows but on Solaris the behavior is inconsistent.

The inconsistent behavior appears in the Solaris JDK1.1.0_10 & JDK1.2.2_05.

TESTCASE
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;

class CursorDialog extends Dialog {
Button CrossHairButton = new Button("CrossHair Cursor");
Button WaitButton = new Button("Wait Cursor");
boolean answer;

public static void main (String args[]) {
Frame frame = new Frame();
CursorDialog ynd = new CursorDialog(frame, "Choose a new cursor:");
}

public CursorDialog(Frame owner, String message) {
super(owner,message);

Panel buttonPanel = new Panel();
Panel labelPanel = new Panel();

buttonPanel.add(CrossHairButton);
buttonPanel.add(WaitButton);

labelPanel.add(new Label(message));

add(labelPanel, "Center");
add(buttonPanel, "South");

CrossHairButton.addActionListener(new CrossHairAdapter(this));
WaitButton.addActionListener(new WaitAdapter(this));


System.out.println("The 'this' object is : " + this.toString());

//this.setCursor(new Cursor(java.awt.Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR)); -THIS WORKS
pack();
setSize(400,125);
show();
}

public void CrossHairButtonActivated(ActionEvent event) {
this.setCursor(new Cursor(java.awt.Cursor.CROSSHAIR_CURSOR)); // THIS DOESNT
System.out.println("The dialog cursor is : " + this.getCursor().getName());
System.out.println("The 'this' object is : " + this.toString());
}
public void WaitButtonActivated(ActionEvent event) {
this.setCursor(new Cursor(java.awt.Cursor.WAIT_CURSOR)); // THIS DOESNT
System.out.println("The dialog cursor is : " + this.getCursor().getName());
System.out.println("The 'this' object is : " + this.toString());
