Cursor-Handling questions

We did not really care much about cursor handling so far. So far I
believed the updateCursorImmediately() together with the
GlobalCursorManager (search for it in the JDK sources) provides a nice
and flexible enough abstraction for this. I guess you need to study that
and see if it matches what you want to do. If not, I'd be happy to work
with you on an improved framework for this in Cacio.

They can't? I thought I remember that I spent quite some time to
implement this. I know that it wasn't working very well, e.g. it was
slow as hell etc, but I believe it was possible. But I don't know from
the top off my head how/where to start. (IOW, you need to study the code
and find out, I can assist you on IRC if you like.)

Cheers, Roman
