Dear Bug Team!
When I start XEmacs as built for the Solaris Companion CD, the cursor
(the image representing the mouse) gets stuck. For example, if I move
the cursor over the modeline, it changes to a vertical double arrow
(okay). But if I then move it back into a buffer (e.g., *scratch*),
it stays as a double arrow (bad).
This did not happen with 21.1.14.
The site-start.el that we use for the Companion CD is
(when (featurep 'tooltalk)
(load "tooltalk-macros")
(load "tooltalk-util")
(load "tooltalk-init"))
(when (featurep 'sparcworks)
(load "sunpro-init")
(load "ring")
(load "comint")
(load "annotations")
(sunpro-startup))
I have tracked the problem down to the following 2 lines in
sunpro-init.el (in the Sun package):
(set-glyph-image text-pointer-glyph "xterm")
(set-glyph-image nontext-pointer-glyph "xterm")
If I comment out those two lines, the problem goes away.
I don't know if this is a bug in the Sun package or a bug in 21.4.14.
I've looked at the Help and Info descriptions for set-glyph-image, and
so far I'm unable to get my head wrapped around how this stuff is
supposed to work.
I've also tried querying inside Sun to see if anyone understands how
this is supposed to work, without success.
Hyper-Apropos shows the values for the two glyphs as
`nontext-pointer-glyph' (buffer: *Hyper Apropos*, mode: Hyper-Apropos)
...
value:
#<glyph (pointer) #<image-specifier global=(((x) . [nothing]) ((tty) . [nothing])

Apparently what is expected here is that those strings "xterm" will be
converted to a glyph from some cursor font. In the X standard "cursor"
font it's the xterm I-bar cursor. Maybe you don't have the "cursor"
font available, or it doesn't get loaded in the SunPro environment, or
something? If so, the cursor shouldn't get stuck like that (some
error should be thrown and we should revert to sanity---whatever that
means:-/), but it sounds to me like whatever is normally used is
satisfactory, and the sunpro-init.el should be changed.
How about we comment those lines out, and wait for the screaming to
start? If it doesn't, then we're OK. ;-)
I will check on our apparent lack of sanity checking, and I would
appreciate if you could check up on that "cursor" font in the SunPro
environment. (Sorry I can't be more specific than that at the moment;
if it sounds like a waste of time on your part, just say so and I'll
try to add specifics.)

That's my fallback plan (if we can't figure out what the problem is).

Well, there *is* a "cursor" font installed on the system that's
showing the problem.

I assume that XEmacs is able to find it:
(list-fonts "cursor")
("cursor" "cursor")
Let me know if there's any other information I can provide.

OK.
And with
xemacs -vanilla \
-eval '(set-glyph-image text-pointer-glyph "xterm")' \
-eval '(set-glyph-image nontext-pointer-glyph "xterm")'
I can immediately replicate. (Shoulda done that before, but I was in
a fog, thought I needed to run sunpro-init. Note to self: do _not_
work on important things like XEmacs after faculty meetings!)
