The documentation about cursor-type says "automatically becomes
buffer-local when set". So if in a buffer you type M-: (setq
cursor-type 'bar) RET, then the cursor will change in that buffer (or
window, rather).
I don't know what's the current buffer when ~/.emacs is executed. A
temp buffer, perhaps, or *scratch*.
