I have done a fair bit of mucking around moving and constraining the  
cursor.  It can get a bit ugly, tricky, disturbing for the user and  
deprecated by user interface purists.  Much better to hide the cursor  
(set the cursor to none) and then show a fake cursor which you can  
move between two points or along a path as you would with any  
object.  You can even colour the teaching cursor to indicate that  
this is showing the user something and so won't be responsive to  
mouse movements.
