A question about the cursor color...

XRecolorCursor takes two XColor structures, one for foreground
and one for background colors.  The structures specify the color
number and the RGB values.  I have an application that uses three
color maps that share some colors, and I want the cursor to be one
of the shared colors so it won't change color when I change colormaps.
Whatever I do, it seems like the cursor is always using colors
0 and 1 regardless of what XRecolor Cursor says.

In looking through the sources, I found the _Cursor structure in
src/server/include/cursorstr.h.  It holds the RGB values for
foreground and background but doesn't seem to have the color number
in there.  Does this mean that the color number is ignored?
