Those changes were first made by RMS - adding one kind of cursor
customization, and subsequently by me - adding (and consolidating)
even more cursor customization.

In RMS changes to w32term.c (!), I can see that he removed the
determination of the "active_cursor" state [which controls when
to move the system caret] -- probably because he just copied code
from xterm.c.  In my subsequent change, based on RMS' code, I
consolidated what now looked as "identical" code (into xdisp.c).

So I would assume that the proper fix will be to reintroduce the
determination of the "active_cursor" state, either in
x_display_and_set_cursor in w32term.c, or (more generic) in
get_window_cursor_type in xdisp.c.

I'll look into fixing that asap.
