I must say, I don't have a clue. With me, the pointer is just the regular pointer. Of course, on an image it will be a plus sign with a small symbol of the tool you have selected.

With Gimp one of the tools is always active and the mouse pointer will indicate which one it is. The measure tool is closest to a neutral tool as it does not alter the image in any way.
Maybe something closer to what you want. Go to:
Edit > Preferences > Image Windows
and then set:
Pointer mode > Tool icon

Sorry, you can change it in the preference section under the edit tab. Then click on "Image Windows" and in that field you can make it a pointer by choosing the pointer mode, but not a regular pointer.
