A last suggestion. Instead of using a red cursor, it better to show theQNX/Photon does this by making the cursor horizontal instead of vertical, the lenght of one char.
overwrite mode with a block caret instead of a vertical bar caret. That
way you give a hint to the user that you're going to "eat" the next
character if he writes something.
(That's, btw, the gnome-usability suggestion. I think that there is a
bug report on gnome bugzilla against GtkTextView to implement something
like that)

Objet : Re: INS
What I was going to suggest even before this threadApproved.
started was to
use the same trick Emacs does and change the colour
of the caret in the OVER mode to a bright colour (bright red?).
This would be simple to implement, clearly noticeable, and
unobtrusive.

I personaly thinks this might be a bit better, as it's more subtile and I don't like big warning signs for something as common as INS/OVR as it's a really handy feature :)
Then again, if we want a huge and big 'warning' the square is probably better.
