The gnome-background-properties dialog has no idea how long it will
actually take for the settings to take effect, as it does not control
the actual drawing on the background. The gconf calls to set the keys
succeed and return instantly, which means that changing the pointer in
the capplet itself, based on that information, would be totally useless.
A timeout would still be needed, to slow the UI down.
