Re: cursor doesn't show through transparent images in emacs 22, unlike emacs 21

    in fact, my concerns would be settled with the changes, currently
    being discussed, that enable the filled-in box cursor for glyphs of
    size comparable to the frame's default font.

Before considering proposals for new features to address this problem,
I want to understand the nature of the problem.  I sent mail yesterday
explaining a confusion that I think we need to clear up, in order to
make sure we understand the situation.  When this is cleared up, we
will see how to proceed.
