We use the following code in our Epoch startup file:

;;
;; Make selection highlighting work in reverse video
;;
(set-style-foreground motion::style (background))
(set-style-background motion::style (foreground))
(set-style-underline motion::style (foreground))
(set-style-cursor-background motion::style (foreground))
(set-style-cursor-foreground motion::style (background))

It makes Epoch work more like XTerm (or other X applications) at the
cost of not being able to see the cursor in a marked region.
