The 1 pixel difference can be very hard to see; I think it's a
difference of ~0.2 mm on my monitor with a horz resolution of 1600.
Without looking close and comparing cursors, I personally can't tell
what is what. And that's with my glasses on :).
Another issue is that other programs, notably xterm, display a hollow
box cursor when not selected. (Some programs, like KDE editors, don't
display a cursor when not selected; I think that's a mistake.) In any
case, if the hollow box were used consistently, it's appearance on a
window would clearly signal ``this window is not selected''. If each
app uses its own idea of non-selected window cursor, things become
ambiguous. I mentioned xterm, because it comes with X, and I think
it's a good move to be consistent with its UI, lacking an X style
guide.
