Yeah, that's why I stuck animated cursors into the server -- too much 
bother to hack the clients in this way.  The obvious 'solution' would be 
to use a separate thread, but I thought that would be rather error prone.

So, instead, animated cursors are 'emulated' by just displaying the first 
image.  Again, 'good' cursor themes might want to ensure that the first 
iamge in an animation is sensible when displayed alone.
