Hi

When tmux gets SGR 3 inside it will use sitm outside if the terminal has
it, otherwise it'll use smso. I don't remember why, possibly to make
rxvt users happier.

It's the same for SGR 7 - rev if it exists, otherwise smso.

But I'm not clear what problem you're seeing, if you want to show me the
new terminfo entry and tell me how to reproduce the problem (preferably
off-list), I'll have a look. Perhaps we should go back to doing the same
as screen here since we are using its terminfo entry.
