I had a similar problem when I tried to run my shogi program, which
uses huge cursors (96x96), on a GraphOn.  The cursors came out utterly
scrambled.  I was quite shocked to discover that X allows the server to
place a limit on cursor size instead of simply noting that excessively
large cursors may produce bad performance.  Your DECstation probably
has a limit on cursor size....
