OK, here's where I'm stuck:

1) There doesn't seem to be a QCursor::setCursor(). There is a
setCursor method in QWidget and in QApplication; how can i leverage
either?

2) There are no hoverEnterEvent and hoverLeaveEvent methods in
Wallpaper. So I tried reimplementing QObject::event() but it doesn't
seem to ever get called: the following gives nothing, not even the
mouse events that are well handled:

bool Mandelbrot::event(QEvent *e)
{
  kDebug() << "event" << e->type();
  return Plasma::Wallpaper::event(e);
}

Cheers,
Benoit
