The cursor is only filled for me when the pointer is in the same window as the cursor. The original intent of the filled cursor was to let you know where the focus was. However, no focus events are sent to either emacs or xterm. The twm icon manager is the one handling the decorations, so it knows that it wants to see the window corresponding to the icon manager entry to be highlighted. You may consider this a bug in twm if you wish, but emacs, epoch, and xterm all have no knowledge of how the events are reaching it when it is not currently the window in 'focus'. -- Mark
