Comment 4 for bug 188732

Me too! Cursors SHOULD normally blink in my opinion, it's just that in the terminal the cursor is a large block which is really annoying when it blinks all the time. The rather large response in favour of a non-blinking cursor at the referenced bug makes me a bit mad at the people who pushed this change through.

So it seems now they're waiting for a patch which only makes things more complicated... some combo box option with values "System default", "Always", "Never". I call for a revert since that would bloat the UI even more than before.
