I would of course be happy to change only XWorkArea, but the cursor glyph
depends also on whether input is prohibitted or not and /that/ is controlled
by LyXView. That, therefore, is the right place to set the glyph and so
necessitates going through dispatch.
I seem to remember a similar conversation with Lars when I proposed the
original patch. I took your point of view and he insisted that this be
controlled by the core...
