Comment 10 for bug 188732

Gnome have accepted this change was a mistake. See http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=342921 which I've just link this bug too. However, they're being sensitive flowers and are deleting comments from the bug report. Some were from Jay L. T. Cornwall willing to provide a patch he'd already prepared to revert this change. Olav deleted them; see my comment #46. Olav is insisting that reverting isn't an option and someone must write a new patch that provides a three-way option, Blink, Don't blink, Use system default.

In lieu of a useful change from Gnome, perhaps Jay Cornwall's patch can be examined to see if Ubuntu can pick it up directly?
