We used to do something different - like XOR the image with the cursor 
color or something. That was certainly ugly, but allowing the cursor 
color to show through transparent areas does not seem too ugly to me 
(though may involve lots of processing every time the cursor blinks, 
unless we cache two images for every image that is displayed).
