Sorry, I was wrong.  Emacs-w3m surely changes the cursor color.
It is intended to update the appearance of the header line by a
side effect.  We've been believing it is harmless because the
color which is set to the cursor is the same as the cursor color
itself.  However, I noticed we are unable to know the color if a
user hasn't set the cursor color intentionally.  It is always
black, whatever the color of the default face may be.

Thanks.  I tried them and understood what is your problem.
However, so far I don't know how emacs-w3m should be fixed.  We
emacs-w3m team need to discuss this problem.

But it's easy for you to solve it by yourself.  The workaround
is to put the following line in your ~/.emacs file.

(set-cursor-color "goldenrod")

Anyway, I'll send a mail to you when the problem is solved in
emacs-w3m.
