In the days of 2.8.0, mlterm did not support changing 
cursor visibility and curs_set should have no effect on it.

After 2.9.0, or 2004/05 in CVS, that should work. i.e.
  echo -e "\033[?25l" 
 or 
  tput civis
makes cursor invisible and
  echo -e "\033[?25h"
 or
  tput cnorm
reverts it.

So your problem occurs both of them,
it seems to be in the color for drawing cursor
not in the cursor state.

I couldn't find a demo that uses "start_color" under
python2.3-2.3.4/Demo/curses and not sure what the problem is.
Could you prepare some tiny test case?



BTW, cursor state(invis/norm) currently doesn't save/restored
 and are sheared between normal/alternate screen.
Are they intentional ?> Sato san
