    Well, I'm not using default X cursor. Usually I use either DMZ or
Oxygen theme. Both those themes are animated and I see those animations
when I load a folder in pcmanfm. But I never got "busy" cursor when I
start some program with startup notification enabled. :(

    Exactly what I use to tune the look and feel.

    well, there may be some misunderstanding there. The Openbox changes
the cursor for xkill if xkill is set in Openbox menu or shortcut but it
doesn't change it for programs that have no own cursor, the cursor stays
"arrow" still instead of "busy" which I believe it have to become until
startup is complete. But I believe xkill has own cursor setup and it does
not depend on which setting I have in Openbox menu or shortcut for it.
