 Using 8.2-757

 When the touchpad goes nutty, I know from the release notes that I just
 have to leave it and wait <10 seconds for it to recalibrate itself.
 Knowing this, I no longer fight with the touchpad.

 I wonder if the cursor could change to some shape which would "tell" kids,
 "hands off the touchpad for a bit, please". Like changing fully to a
 spinner, as if the Cursor (equivalent to the touchpad, in kids eyes) was
 thinking/working/fixing-itself (recalibrating).
