Erm, I don't.  Emacs does (at least when I use `setq´ or `set-frame-par-
ameter´).   I just specify which cursor I want to see in which situation
and have Emacs do the rest.

But thinking twice,  my assumption regarding "`cursor-type´ doesn't seem
to be a legal window parameter" might be wrong; it could as well be that
Emacs just doesn't look there  for a cursor specification  and thus uses
the default cursor all the time in that case.

Sincerely,
