There is a bug in version 18.52 of GNU emacs which causes incorrect
display of the outline version of the cursor.
This is *NOT* a bug in emacs. Width "0" lines work fine under X11,
and in many cases (as discussed in the Xlib manual) are drawn faster
than width "1" lines since they can be drawn with hardware-dependent
routines (which doesn't matter when drawing a rectangle). What you
are reporting, I believe, is a well-known bug in the Parallax X11
server which I thought I had fixed last summer...
