Re: Setting cursor-type does not trigger redisplay of cursor

    In Emacs 21, I need to call (sit-for 0) to force a redisplay.  In
    Emacs 22 CVS, I am told, that doesn't work.

That is clearly a bug.

It seems to me that it should not be terribly hard to make redisplay
record the last cursor-type used for redisplay in a given frame, and
DTRT when it has changed.  So why do anything less convenient?

Would someone like to implement that, please?
