in finch.c:

#include "term.h"

int main(int argc, char *argv[])
  {
      signal(SIGPIPE, SIG_IGN);

      g_thread_init(NULL);

      g_set_prgname("Finch");
  #if GLIB_CHECK_VERSION(2,2,0)
      g_set_application_name(_("Finch"));
  #endif

      if (gnt_start(&argc, &argv)) {
          gnt_main();

  #ifdef STANDALONE
          purple_core_quit();
  #endif
      printf(cursor_visible); // <-- this is all you need by the look of it
      }
      return 0;
  }
