    Description

      The snippet below is derived from documentation http://pyside.github.io/docs/pyside/PySide/QtGui/QApplication.html#PySide.QtGui.PySide.QtGui.QApplication.setOverrideCursor and sets cursor for current window. Note that line that passes CursorShape as parameter is commented.

      #!/usr/bin/env python
      import sys
      from PySide.QtGui import *
      from PySide.QtCore import *
      
      app = QApplication ( sys.argv )
      
      cursor = QCursor(Qt.WaitCursor)
      shape = Qt.WaitCursor
      print(cursor)
      print(shape)
      QApplication.setOverrideCursor( cursor )
      #QApplication.setOverrideCursor( shape )
      
      window = QLabel("WAIT")
      window.show()
      sys.exit ( app.exec_() )
      

      It works flawlessly on Windows, but fails on Linux (X11):

      $ ./pyside-243.py 
      <PySide.QtGui.QCursor object at 0xb4a08c2c>
      PySide.QtCore.Qt.CursorShape.WaitCursor
      X Error: BadCursor (invalid Cursor parameter) 6
        Major opcode: 2 (X_ChangeWindowAttributes)
        Resource id:  0x3
      

      It works correctly on Linux only when setOverrideCursor() is feeded with CursorShape type object (commented line). On Windows both ways work ok.
