Summary: Hacking around only, of course.


This is sort of a self flame to follow up my response about the
cursor pinning rectangle. Please note that the mechanism I suggested
is just a _hack_ to get the explicit result asked for. (Somebody
once asked me how I thought MacLanding accomplished this, and I
dug around and found CrsrPin.) I have no idea what Apple's feelings
are concerning use of this global, and I suspect that anything you
do with it could be hazardous when used in conjunction with things
like MultiFinder, unless you are very careful.
