I've started to look (and while at it added use of the dirty bitmap to
catch changes to the HW cursor image just because it looked easy).

One obvious issue: Your patch:

gtk: update mouse position in mouse_set()

Completely breaks cursor movement in NT4 (I haven't checked with other
guests). It works fine without the patch. This is after cherry-picking
on top of my series on github.

Now the cursor is still a white rectangle :-) I need to investigate that
one a bit more.

Cheers,
Ben.
