Cannot change cursor shape within vim

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Not sure if this is a vim or fbterm issue.  In fbterm and bash, the cursor can 
change using echo -e '\033[?2c' and echo -e '\033[7c'.  But within vim, even by 
using the t_SI and t_EI, the cursor appearance cannot change.  It would be an 
enhancement to able to do this, and even more if the color of the cursor could 
change. (For switching vim modes).

Hi, any comments on this?  It would make vim modes easier to notice.
Thanks.

It's a issue of vim.  vim sends t_SI when it enters insert mode, but it's NOT 
the last, after t_SI vim also sends '\033[0c', which changes the cursor to 
default shape you specified in ~/.fbtermrc.
