Problem is that cursor color is a frame specific parameter. Feel free to post a patch :-) > 3. If you don't use cua-mode but just set > cua-enable-cursor-indications to t, the feature does not work. Is > that intended? It only works with cua-mode as the name suggests. It would be nice to separate it, but it is tied in with cua's global-mark feature, so it is a bit tricky to do right.
