Actually a slightly different fix was installed, and it doesn't work
correctly.  Splitting a window in two and calling a key reading function
displays the default cursor in all windows, even in non-selected ones.

To reproduce this bug, you could type `C-x 2 C-h k' and see how the cursor
in the non-selected window changes from hollow to box.
