I have a related question: Is it possible to change the style of the 
mouse cursor when it is over a Graphics3D object?

The default is a pair of curving arrows, to suggest the action of 
rotating the graphic.  However, when the Graphics3D object includes 
tooltips identifying objects in the 3d-graphic, the sheer size and lack 
of a pointer in that default cursor makes it hard to actually point to 
objects.
