Cursor changes when notifications appear
This is with git master, not 0.8.2, offending commit appears to be 9d2ba01f.
It is as if the active window loses focus for a moment and then regains it. To realize this, the active window at the time of the notification must change the default cursor, for example xfce4-terminal or another window with a text entry.
It's not a big problem, but it's a bit annoying, it draws unnecessary attention :)
