Comment 8 for bug 188732

I understand this is a Gnome change, but they've applied logic a step too far. There's a big physical difference between a one-pixel-wide cursor used in Gtk+ text areas, etc., and a one-character-filled-rectangle used by gnome-terminal. The former I want to blink because it can be hard to spot. The latter is easy to spot and its blinking is a distraction, just like animated ads or blink text on a web page; and we block those!

I see why it was set to Invalid, this isn't a bug but a `feature' imposed by Gnome. But it is a bug because they made it based on them both being `cursors' without regard for their different physical appearance, so I'm setting this bug to Confirmed. There seems to be a considerable body of people that had the two cursors with different blink settings.
