Thanks Johann! I don't know why it worked, but it did(!!) and this
time I didn't have rxvt ot xterm running! This is going to be a tough
one to find the cause of as it 'seems' now to be caused by X in
general.
At least now editing in vim will be easier, it sure was hard to figure
out where the cursor was, when is was black. ;-)
Tkanks again...
