Hello.

This happens to me with the latest master :

Start emacs: emacs -Q
Since start I cannot see the cursor blinking.
If I type something: a or C-b, for example, then the cursor stops
being displayed
immediately and I can't see where point is anymore.
If I type: C-x b I can see the cursor as a hollow box, like expected,
but when I select the window (typing C-g, for example), cursor
disappears again.

There is no problem when running `emacs -nw'.

I took a look, reproduced the problem on 32-bit Ubuntu 18.04, and installed the 
attached patch. Thanks, Mauro, for reporting it.
