I would like to change the mouse cursor to the hour glass and back when
performing long performing actions (like opening a new window). How do I?

Thanx...

Wayne,
I'd recommend that you look at IProgressService. Sounds like you want to
use the following:
PlatformUI.getWorkbench().getProgressService().busyCursorWhi le(Runnable r);

Another option, if you're in an swt-only context, is to use
BusyIndicator.showWhile(Display, Runnable).
