Summary: Mouse cursors are always black-and-white, 1-bit glyphs.

Initial Comment:
A longstanting problem with VNC on Linux is that the mouse cursors appear in
the VNC client as 1-bit glyphs, but the cursors themselves are high-color
animated glyphs.  This causes the cursors to be ugly and sometimes
unrecognizable when visiting the TigerVNC server.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

Using gentoo's latest tigevnc package (1.0.1_p20100914-r6) with a custom patch 
for display corruption.

How reproducible:

Use a Windows or Linux TigerVNC client to connect to a Linux TigerVNC server.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Log in.
2. Look at cursors.  They are black-and-white.
3. Change cursors in the Appearance Preferences...Customize Button...Pointer
Tab.
4. They always stay black-and-white.

Actual results:

The cursors are black-and-white but they should be color.

Expected results:

The cursors should be full-color with animation features.


Additional info:

The TigerVNC setting of "Render Cursor Locally" has no effect on the cursor's
black-and-white state.
