I don't know if this is related to your problems, but the cursor may
sometimes become invisible when a curses-based application crashes or
a ssh connection closes while a curses-based application was running.
The "reset" command should restore the terminal's settings. I never
had any problem with xterm, but when I was using rxvt, the cursor
remained invisible. The solution was to change the rs1 value in the
rxvt terminfo database.
Old value: rs1=\E>\E[1;3;4;5;6l\E[?7h\E[m\E[r\E[2J\E[H
New value: rs1=\E>\E[1;3;4;5;6l\E[?7h\E[m\E[r\E[2J\E[H\E[?25h
I did that a few years ago, so things may have changed...
