Actually the slang version does (afaik) show the state correctly - at least
when I'm testing it (perhaps the slang library is exploiting the particular
color model of the XFree86 xterm - I didn't check that aspect yet, since
slang doesn't work well with non-bce color models). For SVr4 curses (and
ncurses), an additional refresh is still needed (I was looking into this to
see if there's a cleaner way than clearing the screen first - there are
some minor differences between SVr4 curses vs ncurses in this area, but
both have this problem).

uh, no - it's a two-way toggle (crude, but a ^L helps it along).
I could "fix" it by using a goto as does the ^L code....

I did try that a little for slang, but it doesn't work yet.

right (I'm not done with this change - but I thought it would be useful).
