SplashScreen must always show WAIT cursor when the user moves the mouse over it. This works as expected when the user moves the mouse explicitly over the splash screen after it is shown. But if the mouse pointer is already located at the center of the screen and if the splash screen appears just below it, the mouse cursor does not change to WAIT Cursor. The user has to explicitly move the mouse little bit in order to change it to wait cursor.
This is reproducible only on WinXP with the current PIT build as well as Mustang-b44. This is not reproducible on SolSparc10. On SolSparc, the mouse cursor automatically changes as soon as the splash screen appears beneath the mouse pointer.

I have attached a sample test. Make sure you keep the mouse at the center of the screen. Run the test as follows:
java -splash:flor2.jpg ShowSplash
If the splash screen appears below the mouse pointer and the cursor does not change to WAIT cursor, the bug is reproduced.
