1. Call PG_Application::ShowCursor with on eof the arguments (enum
within PG_Application, i.e. always prepend a PG_Application::)

    QUERY   - returns the current cursor handling
    NONE    - completely disables cursor drawing. You won't see any
              trace of the mouse cursor
    HARDWARE - uses the standard cursor form SDL
    SOFTWARE - paragui draws the cursor

2. In the case you want to use paragui's cursor drawing, you then call
PG_Application::SetCursor and give it the image of your cursor.

Quite straight forward, isn't it?

Some notes:

a) There are some updating issues with the paragui cursor, so it may
happen that you see some artifacts where the cursor was when you hide a
window or so (I can't tell you exactly, it is too long ago when I
disabled it. :)

b) You can also use the SDL functions to specify an own cursor. See
SDL_SetCursor etc. in SDL_mouse.h. The drawback is that SDL can only do
three colours: black, white and transparent.
