Another small nitpick that I have between my two illustrious installations is that my cursor behaves differently. When I learned Emacs long ago in Terminal.app, I grew to expect the cursor to behave in a certain way. When it was over white space, it would be a filled box. When it was over a character, it would reverse video and I could see the character despite the box being full. My windows install works exactly as I expect. On my mac, however, I currently have an empty box because if I set it to be a solid box (via the preferences), it simply covers over the text I'm trying to edit. This simply won't do. I'd like to have the same functionality that I do on my Windows box on my Mac. I looked into the 'Easy Customization' section of the manual but I couldn't get the customizations there to really do anything. Anyway, as always, thoughts?
