On Debian GNU/Linux, it looks like this doesn't do anything...  but if I
move the mouse pointer out of the Emacs frame, and then back again, I
get a spinner.  I guess I never noticed before.  :-/  Or perhaps I don't
move the mouse pointer a lot.

But, anyway, is there anything Gnus could be doing that would disable
the hourglass when it's doing some prolonged operation?
