Description
After typing in a level password in Gobliiins in the 0.8.0 CVS build, every stylus tap results in blocks of pixels shifting resulting in jumbled graphics.
I am on a Dell Axim X30H, and the same behavior was reported by another Pocket PC user on a different brand Pocket PC.

I had another problem after typing in a level password: When the new level started, the mouse cursor was only half visible. The game was perfectly playable and you could change the mouse symbol (fist etc.) as it's supposed to be, but the lower half of the symbol was always cut off. Btw, I was using 0.8.0 CVS build on a Windows 98 machine. I don't remember the exact date, but it must have been a week or two ago.
I don't know whether it's an instance of the same problem or something completely different. Unfortunately I wasn't able to reproduce this bug, that's why I didn't file a bug report so far.

Had a quick look, this bug seems to happen when a mouse move with no tap happens between 2 key presses. A temporary workaround is to tap the mouse on another part of the screen between 2 letters. I'll try to find a better one for the release :)

More exactly : it will happen if the cursor is not in a zone where it can be displayed between 2 key presses. To reproduce it on Windows or another platform, go to the "load" screen, move the cursor off screen, press a key, and enjoy the garbled cursor :)

I've made a small patch to fix this bug, with the great help of sev (thanks!)
A proper patch would be to use OSystem mouse cursors. This patch fixes the bug with the current code that draws the mouse cursor
I've sent the patch to sev

The patch fixes it perfectly. Thanks, md5. Commited as is.
And yes, this is a temporary solution, as we need to make the engine use OSystem cursors.
