This is not a bug, but the documentation of cursor-type fails to say it.
However, it might be reasonable to change this. Perhaps the cursor in
a nonselected window should have the same appearance as when the
cursor "blinks off". For a bar cursor, this would mean it becomes a
thin bar.
What do people think of that idea?
