Re: Fake cursors.

I just installed a (simple) patch to fix this redisplay problem.

Contrary to what I said below, no other problems are addressed
by those changes.  


The problem with (recenter -1) is not related to this.  

Actually, it works correctly: (recenter -1) moves point to the second
last line on the display as it should according to the doc string.
But how do you move it to the last line?  (recenter -0) obviously
doesn't work).
