A Few Issues with the non-gui vim

Hi.
I was watching a speech on Youtube by Bram Moolenaar where he
recommended the use of vim over gvim for better switching between
editor/shell etc, much faster etc.
My only problem w/ a cterm-vim is that there is no pre-built clear
indicatorbetween insert and normal mode besides the "--INSERT--" text
on the status line.

Any suggestions?

I tried some ugly autocommand for the normal background highlighting
like tehse:
au Insertleave * highlight Normal ctermbg=gray
au Insertenter * highlight Normal ctermbg=white

well, what i discovered is that "white" is basically gray on my term
(xterm or ansi) for some reason (using the latest Ubuntu), but i don't
know how to fix it. the xterm-vim page was too abstract and didn't
have clear examples, not to mention the man pages.
