Xterm, removing text cursor
I have been trying for a few days now and I can't figure out how to remove the text cursor in xterm.
Or, at least make the hollow box when the terminal is not active disapear.
example of what happens:

Code:
xterm*background:      black
xterm*cursorColor:       red
xterm*foreground:        white
Result------> xterm cursor red

-----------------------------------------------------

Code:
xterm*background:      black
xterm*cursorColor:       black
xterm*foreground:        white
Result--------> xterm cursor white

-----------------------------------------------------

I would be ok with cursor being white when window is active but really would like the hollow box to disapear when window is inactive.

thanks
