Unable to change cursor type with escape sequences

[Ingvix]

I use vi(m)-like modes in multiple programs and like the cursor to be block in normal mode and a pipe in insert mode but dvtm doesn't seem to pass the escape sequences to my terminal.

I've inspected the code a bit and it appears escape sequences are handled in vt.c while sending them to the terminal emulator is only done in dvtm.c when it sets the window title. Were I to attempt implementing this, should I follow the example of catching the escape sequence in vt.c and sending it forward in dvtm.c or would it be acceptable to printf() it in vt.c itself?

EDIT: Nevermind, I realized cursor type should be window dependent so it will require additions to both files.
