I am really no expert for Windows and I still don't understand why we
need so much extra code there to handle cursors. Your last mail tried to
explain that, so I take it that we need this code. Still there is one
change I would like to suggest: Could you please try to use the method
[NSWindow resetCursorRects] instead of all the complicated code for the
update_cursor case?
You should also think about using the GSAppKitWindowLeave event instead
of the special handling for WM_NCMOUSEMOVE. The idea should be to add
handling for all the relevant MS Windows mouse events to the event
procedure and map them to GNUstep/Cocoa events to be handled at the gui
level.
