xmag, the X magnification program posted by Jim Fulton about a month
ago, gets my vote as one of the most useful x utilities around.
However, it has one annoying "feature": the cursor that belongs to the
window that xmag is magnifying appears in the enlargement, usually on
top of the detail that I was examining. So I've hacked xmag not to do
this. Now, only what was in xmag's selection rectangle at the time the
mouse button was pushed is displayed. There might be times when you
really do want to see the client cursor; in that case you can give the option
"-c" on the command line. Here are diff -e diffs:
