Cursor handling in dialog is bad for almost everything.  It should be
mostly off and restored when the application exits.

I noticed/remembered the following problems when I ran devmenu to check
where the cursor goes:
- a PgDn immediately after starting the application causes the cursor
  to go to the end of the text above the menu.  The cursor is normally
  over OK or Cancel where a "normal" unblinking syscons cursor lowlights
  the selection.
- a suitable font isn't switched to automatically.  The line graphics
  borders are wrong for iso8x16.fnt.  The font should be restored when
  the application exits.  Switching the font shouldn't affect other vt's.
- devmenu uses too much of the screen and the shadowing wipes out most of
  the blue border.
- the screen attributes aren't restored when applications exit.
