The blink time does seem to be a bit less than a half second. If I count the seconds out loud it blinks twice each second with a little time to spare.
"dconf dump /" doesn't yield any instances of 463, but does show 1205 for cursor-blink-time (so it's in harmony with the dconf-editor GUI), and that's the only instance of 1205.
I'm running Xubuntu 18.04, using xfce as my desktop environment.
Poking around in dconf-editor, there's an org/xfce section but it only contains data for mousepad, the default plain text editor. There an org/gtk section, but it doesn't have anything related to cursors. There's an org/mate/desktop/interface section, which has cursor-blink, cursor-blink-time but not cursor-blink-timeout. I changed the value of mate's cursor blink time to 1,195 but vte still says it's 463. (And all the GTK apps still have the cursor blinking at that speed.)
I wonder if I should grep for 463 on every file in the system... (but then I suppose the value is just as likely to be obfuscated in some binary file as it is to be plain text). Thanks for your help.
