just to be sure i'm being clear - i don't have a concern about the
hbar/box problem.  i was just exercising more of your patch because
you had gone to the trouble of implementing it.

in fact, my concerns would be settled with the changes, currently
being discussed, that enable the filled-in box cursor for glyphs of
size comparable to the frame's default font.  i hope that one of those
alternatives will be included with the release, independent of the
:cursor provisions.
