A reasonable question, but not one that is specific to _x_fonts.

As usual for Sven-era code the abbreviations are impenetrable, so it's
very difficult to find where compstate[unambiguous_cursor] is being
calculated, but it's always set to the position just beyond the largest
value in compstate[unambiguous_positions].

Theoretically someone could puzzle out how to set it based on the
smallest unambiguous position, but I'm just not that interested.
