      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.
