Ok, so I changed my hook function to

   (lambda () (while-no-input
                 (set-frame-parameter nil               ; Current frame.
                                      'cursor-type      ; Variable name.
                                      (if (eolp) EoL-Cursor ; EoL value.
                                                     Cursor ; Nrm value.
   )          )  )                    )

That works in different frames,  but of course not  in different windows
within the same frame.  However replacing function `set-frame-parameter´
with `set-window-parameter´ prevented the hook function  from working at
all, so `cursor-type´ doesn't seem to be a legal window parameter :-(

Can't I use window parameters to store cursor specific information?

Sincerely,
  Rainer
