Cursor color in "Emacs state" not persistent

Wed Aug 3 18:11:43 CEST 2011

Previously the "wrong" cursor color remains even after having closed the
other buffer, but anyways, it is working perfect now. As long as I'm getting
the correct cursor color after the inactive buffer becomes active that
should be more than enough and we shouldn't complain.

Then should I be using "setq-default" instead of "setq"?

By the way, after a few days of using Evil I'm pretty happy with it. Evil
appears to be "cleaner" and more elegant designed than Viper+Vimpulse,
thanks a lot to your wonderful work Vegard, Frank, Nikolai and all the
contributors.

Emacs allows only one cursor color per "frame" (i.e., window), so the
best I can do is to ensure that the color is determined by the current
buffer (commit 03004f7). If you have two buffers open, then the
inactive buffer's cursor will also change color, unless you disable
inactive cursors altogether by setting `cursor-in-non-selected-windows'
to nil.

The cursor /type/ (box, hollow, bar, etc.), on the other hand,
is fully buffer-local.
