I had a similar problem with the YaST 'Software Install' window
on my 9.3 system -- that window just sat there unresponsive, no
matter what I did with the keyboard or mouse.  [Though in my
case the cursor was without the little clock.]

Turned out a dialog window had been opened, which did not have
focus, but was hidden BEHIND the 'Software Install' window I was
looking at.  [The 'Software Install' window became responsive
again once I had discovered the dialog window, and clicked on
its 'OK' button.]

I think it's some kind of a bug if dialog windows open BEHIND
the things they affect.
