The Plan 9 VNC protocol uses an extension to do this,
but I'm not sure whether we made it up ourselves or whether
it's actually used elsewhere. I suspect the latter. It was
put in by Dong Lin, who uses the X VNC client quite a bit.
In any event, it's trivial enough to add to the Windows
client. I don't remember the call off the top of my head,
but the drawterm source does it.

I just noticed that cursor warping seems not to work when using
the Windows VNC client to view the Plan 9 VNC server. For example,
in Acme, when you right-click on selected text to look for the next
occurence, you expect the cursor to get warped to that location.
What I am seeing is: the cursor appears to get warped, but then the
moment I move the mouse it jumps back in its old location.
Is this a Plan 9 VNC server bug, or a Windows VNC client bug?
