The problem is I need the ability to change it dynamically. I don't
want the cursor to be the double_arrow the whole time the mouse hovers
inside that frame. It's supposed to be a resize arrow when the mouse is
on the frame border, and regular cursor once it passes to the inner
part of the frame.

Unless there is a better way to do this, I have written code to
determine if the mouse is on the edge or not. There doesn't seem to be
a 'mouseover' type event to determine if the mouse is currently on the
frame border itself. As a result, I calculate the position of the mouse
and set the cursor appropriately.

I have also determined that this is not a problem if the button is not
packed inside the frame.  So somehow the interaction of the internal
button is causing this problem.
