the whole experience of having the cursor vanish and then restarting has 
been so painful I must admit I haven't tried real hard to reproduce.  I 
will try to be brave and figure out what I can.

thanks.  I will try that as well.I'm also try to sniff out some 
performance problems.  I see a huge delay sometime in redraws.  It's all 
100 Mb ethernet across a firewall but I also sometimes see the problems 
on local machines (i.e. same network segment).  And no, I'm not getting 
any significant errors (5-10 per GB of traffic)

thanks again for the help.  I will try to reproduce the problem for you 
(ouch :-).
