Global Wait Cursor

I know this has been asked many times; I'm trying to implement a "global rectangle", with the wait cursor set thereon.

<Rectangle Canvas.ZIndex="999" x:Name="WaitCursor" Visibility="Collapsed" Fill="Red" Grid.ColumnSpan="2" Margin="0" Width="1500" Height="1500" Cursor="Wait"/>

I can see the ugly red fill the whole page, and the cursor initially changes to waiting, but it seems fragile. If I move the mouse around, the cursor just seems to randomly switch back (while the screen is still red, of course.) Worse, if I leave the mouse alone, the wait cursor stays on even after the red rectangle goes away.

Why is this so shoddy???

Personally I wouldn't bother with the WaitCursor at all, its a fairly poor indicator when compared with other approaches available in Silveright and WPF.

Instead consider using the BusyIndicator from the Silverlight Toolkit.
