I run emacs with the following .Xresources:
emacs*foreground: white
emacs*background: black
The cursor is normally a white filled box. When I move the mouse out of
the emacs window, the cursor disappears, rather than drawing a white
outline. What is happening is that it is drawing a black box. I know
this because it is erasing one pixel of the letter it is over. (postion
the cursor over a W, or something, and move the mouse out of the window
-- the left hand side of the W disappears.
Now I xrdb -remove and run emacs. I do an x-flip. It works correctly.
I try emacs -rv. it works correctly also.
Now back to my original emacs with the foreground and background
resources set. I do x-flip. Now the cursor disappears entirely. it is
a white cursor on a white background. When it is over a letter, the
letter disappears. When I move out of the window, the cursor is a black
outline.
My .emacs file is available for inspection in /mit/djf
