I have a full-screen emacs in the upper left corner of the screen
(80xas long as the screen takes it). There is a 3-4 pixel high piece
of root window peeking out between the bottom of the screen and the
bottom of emacs. If I move the cursor to the bottom of the screen,
the bottom of the emacs arrow goes off the screen, and as soon as the
"hot spot" leaves the emacs window, the cursor becomes an X. This is
correct. What isn't correct is the mouse jumping up until the entire
X is on the screen again. Now I have an X as a cursor in my emacs,
and I have to move it off the side and back again to get it to cross a
border to reset the pointer shape. I think this is an Xqdss bug
(warping the cursor back into the window, rather than letting it get
partway outside until the hot spot reaches the edge of the screen).
