Cursor on Path doesn't appear in SilverLight

Question

I am trying to draw a circle with a glass effect using Alpha. I am successful in creating that by using the below XAML. The cursor changes to Hand for the Ellipses, but it doesn't affect Path. Basically, I want to show "hand" cursor wherever the mouse appears over the circle. I hope this is not a known issue and I am missing something small. Any help is really appreciated.

<Ellipse Cursor="Hand" 
    Width="200" 
    Height="200" 
    Fill="#C42222" Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="0" />

<Ellipse Cursor="Hand" Width="200" Height="200" Canvas.Left="0" Canvas.Top="0">
    <Ellipse.Fill>
        <RadialGradientBrush GradientOrigin="0.3,0.7">

                Color="#00000000" />
            <GradientStop 
                Offset="1" 
                Color="#66000000" />
        </RadialGradientBrush>
    </Ellipse.Fill>
</Ellipse>

Answer 1

I want to show "hand" cursor wherever the mouse appears over the circle.

The hand cursor appears in my testing of your Path when the mouse is over the path. However perhaps the clue might be in your description above. The Path doesn't describe a circle more like a crescent. Add Stroke="Black" StrokeThickness="1" to the path so that you can see its outline and test that the cursor does actually work.

The other possiblity is in your actual Xaml that there is something else that has a hight z-index or appears later in the Xaml document order that overlays the Path.
