Yes, the cursor turns red when I move it over the red text.  Also, if I
move the cursor over the "No cursor" text in the curses program it
appears as a white cursor.  It seems that if I put it anywhere else on
the screen it is invisible (black on black?), including when I put the
cursor on the space in between "No" and "cursor".

xterm and rxvt seem to default to white on black for the entire screen
in my test case. gnome-terminal uses light gray on black.
