Bug Description

When zooming in ezoom, the mouse pointer (bitmap) turns its black color into transparency and is hard to view.

The problem disappears when just activating/de-activating the magnifier plugin once. Apparently, the magnifier plugin does something with the color tables that fixes the problem.

Suggestion: Whatever color scheme setting the magnifier plugin sets on activation, do the same in ezoom.
