In MS-Paint and also Gimp for every tool selected there is different mouse icon used. This is very handy to know if right tool is selected when your mouse icon is on canvas.
Now the following actions have it's own mouse icons:
- Mouse Selected Pixels,
- Move Selection,
- Zoom,
- Pan,
- Magic Want Select.
All other mouse icons have default mouse selection. I think for each action different mouse icon should be selected.
I also prefer the Gimp icons - there is always default mouse icon plus additional icon to show which tool you are using. When using Gimp you always know when some action will happen (like line drawn, bucket filled etc) because action happens on the tip of arrow. So it would be nice if Gimp's like mouse icons are used.
I'm working on this as part of my Google Summer of Code 2012 project.
Andrew, I have been playing with cursors few months ago and made some suggestions:

In fact this seems almost as a bug sometimes... the magic wand get stuck sometimes and it's very annoying! There's also the presition of the mouse...
When you select some tools that affects some area, the pointer should change it's shape and size...
