I believe this is a bug in viper mode: if your present cursor color  
(the default is set in `default-frame-alist') is the same as `viper- 
replace-overlay-cursor-color' (by default: "Red"), then Viper forgets  
to save it before switching to insert mode.

The workaround is to set viper-replace-overlay-cursor-color to  
something like "red4".

The solution would be to implement `viper-save-cursor-color' cleanly,  
unless that's already been done for Emacs 23 (haven't checked).
