In Emacs 21, I need to call (sit-for 0) to force a redisplay. In
Emacs 22 CVS, I am told, that doesn't work.
That is clearly a bug.
It seems to me that it should not be terribly hard to make redisplay
record the last cursor-type used for redisplay in a given frame, and
DTRT when it has changed. So why do anything less convenient?
Would someone like to implement that, please?
