cursor pseudo-encoding

[Peter Gough]

The RealVNC Java viewer client does not render a text cursor (cursor in a text editor) correctly. I'm seeing
4 dots (1 at each corner of the standard vertical bar cursor used by both windows and linux). I'm
connecting to a VMWare VNC server which uses RFB v3.3. 

I checked the received pixel data and it shows the cursor in the correct shape; the bitmask, however,
only allows the 4 corner pixels to be displayed:

<pre>

 pixel data             bitmask data
   -----                      -    -
     |
     |
     |
   -----                      -    -
  
</pre>

Any ideas why this is happening? And would a workaround be to ignore the bitmask as it seems
like the pixel data is always correct anyway?

thx,
pedro
