Then I guess the problem is that Emacs sends the "ve" command (normal
cursor) to the terminal? I'm not an expert on terminfo, but if
there's a way for a program to read the cursor properties, then Emacs
could do that at startup, and keep it, or restore it on exit.
Alternatively we might have a feature whereby users could set
attributes of the text-mode cursor for Emacs to use in its text
frames. Patches welcome.
