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?
