Okay, I believe these issues have been fixed - I pushed code that works
in Lenny (mostly).  There is still a ghost cursor when you switch to the
VT, but I think I know why.

The only outstanding problem right now is the long standing problem in
Fedora that Warren reported a while ago.  I can't recreate it in 
anything else, and its rather frustrating, but it really needs to be
fixed before anything else happens.
