Re: Fake cursors.

[Kim F. Storm]

Hi Luc,

Just a brief message to let you know that I have found the cause of
this problem, but the necessary changes to fix it are not quite
trivial, so I'll have to test some more before I commit them.

Actually, I expect the changes to fix other problems in windows
with header lines (e.g. (recenter -1) isn't working properly).
