Fair enough. But I wonder if there is always something like "a current
color", or if it is appropriate in frames. I often have frames with
different colors (and I change them on run-time to whichever is
appropriate for the current mode) or X and terminal frames, which may
be confusing when all those frames run in the same instance
(emacsclient). So the question is if there is a better way to "reset"
the cursor correctly (to normal-state or something else) without
falling back to some mysterious default, right?

Not that I knew how to do this ... ;)
