No.  To be precise, I did exactly:

diff -ur /gp/gav/was/dlls/x11drv/x11drv_main.c dlls/x11drv/x11drv_main.c

How about winemine??   (didn't have notepad.exe handy.)  winemine does
it, so does programs/notepad.  I pulled a 1993 notepad.exe from a
tar.bz2 - that would be from wfw3.11, I think.

It does it too.

That sounds about right.  Oh, at one point I reverted only wnd.c - no
difference - then palette.c.  Colors seemed better with the pointer off
the window IIRC, but it still went to black and white withe the pointer
on the desktop.
