Using open-looks' filemgr - if a file folder (envelope) is
selected - it is possible to move the cursor (which takes on
an envelope bitmap) across the screen (from one window to 
another) - and the cursor remains an envelope - rather than 
changing into the appropriate cursor style for the window
the cursor is over.
What's the X trick involved ?
This behaviour is exhibited irrespective of window manager
being used (mwm,twm or open-look).
