Aha, this explains why the cursor is red when I am running top
on another terminal :-)

The feature works nicely, sort of.

If I as root on ttyv0 echo something to a user on ttyv2,
the cursor turns red. If I then jump to any other terminal
except ttyv2, it turns white again. Shouldn't the cursor
stay red until I jump to terminal ttyv2?

Just a minor detail, I know :-)
