[CM] snd minibuffer is broken under motif front end

[Carlos Pita]

I was able to snapshot the cursor position. I did the following: 1)
C-x C-f, 2) click inside the modeline, but outside the minibuffer
input box, 3) click the plot anywhere . After these steps the position
is momentarily visible until I click everywhere else.
