You're inside qemu when you're running the Android emulator. If you
can figure out a trick that works in other virtualization/emulation
environments (e.g., VMWare), perhaps it can work with the Android
emulator.

Some screencast recording software will apply highlights to the cursor
as well, but I don't know whether they'll track the cursor when over
the qemu window or not.

I was taking the OP literally, trying to change the cursor itself.
AFAIK, that's gotta be inside the emulated firmware somewhere. qemu
won't be actually realizing the cursor, I wouldn't think, since it
handles all sorts of OSes, some of which don't have cursors.
