Bug Description
Every tool has a custom mouse pointer, but the select tool uses the Gnome's default pointer.
When an object is selected, the pointer changes to a hand icon (without crosshair), making it almost impossible to select objects near the selected object with precision.
In my opinion, a crosshair icon would be much better for the select tool in most of the situations, but just keeping the arrow and not changing to the hand icon would suffice.

In Windows it changes to a four-way arrow.
It's evident that the system pointers are used.
Anyway, the hotspot of the tool when it changes to the hand/arrows icon should be more evident. In both cases is really hard to see where the hotspot is.
