In "Epoch 4.0 Beta Patchlevel 0" running on a HP 720 running HP/UX 8.05
on X11R4 X server, the cursor seems to disappear quite often.  It always
disappears in shell-mode after I issue a command and shell-mode inserts
the command output into the shell window.  This happened after starting
epoch -q, so it is not my .el code as far as I can tell.

I also noticed this problem in the gnuclient window (not screen) which
popped up as a result of running Pnews to post this article (I use
gnuclient/gnuserv instead of emacsclient, and $EDITOR is set to
gnuclient): when the .article buffer appeared, there was no text cursor.

Any key event (even a non-bound key such as a Shift key or the
ExtendChar key) causes the cursor to appear.
