I think this is an old and annoying GNUstep bug. We somewhere seem to 
miss a few cursor rect events. It would be great to finally track this 
down, but most likely this wont happen for the current release. If you 
find the time to detect a way to consistently reproduce this problem 
with a minimal application, this would be a great help.
