I am using rdesktop and seamlessrdp to connect to some windows applications that have a text area with black background. In such cases the black cursor seems to be lost in the background. However, when using the cursor keys we can detect the movement with a white blink. 

This problem occurs irrespective of using seamlessrdp. I am not sure of the appropriate solution, however the solution given here -
http://swartzlander.org/rdesktop-1.6.0-bswartz-cursor.patch
seems to address this issue. This may be used to fix the same else an alternate solution is required. 

When running the same application in Windows purely, it clearly shows a visible cursor.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
This may be tough to reproduce if you don't have access to a Windows application with such a black text-area. I am using an accounting software very specific to this region called Tally (version 7.2 or 9.0).
1. From a terminal run 'rdesktop <windows-terminal-server-ip-or-host>'
2. Open the application such as Tally having such a black text-area 
3. Navigate to the text-area and the cursor is no longer visible
Actual Results:  
Cursor not visible

Expected Results:  
Cursor should be visible in some clearly distinguishable color
