When the cursor is moved in a pad, Root finds the object by
invoking the DistancetoPrimitive function for all objects in the pad.
Once the object has been identified, the ExecuteEvent function
is called. This function changes the cursor shape (object dependent)
to an "arrow", a "cross", a "hand", etc. The crosshair is not
implemented. This could be implemented as an option.
As you say, the option "EventStatus" indicates very precisely
the axis coordinates corresponding to the cursor position on an object.
