 Yeah. There's no "correct" default setting for this because you
 can't (as far as I know) query the terminal to find out what the
 terminal's current cursor visibility is. So, curses has to assume
 some default.
 
 I talked to Tom Dickey about this some time back and he says the
 Solaris curses also sets this to 1. Maybe BSD curses should do too?
