This is essentially my .emacs:
(set-foreground-color "white")
(set-background-color "black")
However, when the cursor is on text with the "default" face, the
cursor is invisible. Why is this?
GNU Emacs 23.2.1 (i386-mingw-nt6.1.7600) of 2010-05-08 on G41R2F1

Because you need to set the cursor color too.
(set-cursor-color "red")
(when (fboundp 'set-mouse-color)
(set-mouse-color "yellow"))

Actually, it seems that it is not only the default face, but also e.g.
the "button" face... I'd bet there are more faces which this applies
to.

Do M-x list-faces-display to see all currently defined faces, what they
are set to and an easy way to change the ones you want to be different.
,----[ C-h f list-faces-display RET ]
| list-faces-display is an interactive compiled Lisp function in `faces.el'.
|
| It is bound to <control down-mouse-2> <df> , <menu-bar> <edit> <props> <df> .
|
| (list-faces-display &optional REGEXP)
|
| List all faces, using the same sample text in each.
| The sample text is a string that comes from the variable
| `list-faces-sample-text'.
|
| If REGEXP is non-nil, list only those faces with names matching
| this regular expression. When called interactively with a prefix
| arg, prompt for a regular expression.

This is not exactly a solution to your problem but since I see you want
a colour scheme more to the likes of emacs invoked with
`-no-window-system', I would suggest you try setting `inverse-video' to
t. An even better solution would be to use the `color-themes' library
and choose a dark theme. I use one myself. If you are interested I can
share my setup.

Thanks, but I'm getting the feeling that this is an Emacs bug. I don't
like using color-theme, since I'm quite satisfied with the default
(dark) Emacs colors, save this problem with the cursor.

So basically no one knows why this is happening? Should I report this as a bug?
