I'm curious what the reasons are since it wasn't really explained in the
check-in comments. I've been running with my patch now for 3 months and
haven't seen any visual oddities. But perhaps my anti-aliasing settings
are masking what the original change was for...

This does fix the descenders being chopped off, but ends up making the
block cursor not cover the whole glyph it's highlighting--it's really ugly.

Any idea if we'll get a real fix (or one our workarounds) into CVS
before emacs 23.1 is released?
