Hijacking NSCursor

I'm working on an app that includes some screenshot functionality. It 
all works as planned, except for one thing: when the user command-
tabs to another app, the cursor changes from the crosshair that I set 
to the cursor of the newly active app. I can still get the 
screenshot, but the cursor change annoys me.

I see that Preview manages to keep the crosshair when you switch the 
active application, although it does seem to lose the crosshair if 
you switch applications twice (say, to another app, and then back to 
Preview). My question is: how does Preview keep the crosshair cursor 
when the active application changes the first time?
