I've also seen this happen (about 1/3 of the time) when gnome-terminal gets focus when I switch between workspaces with Ctrl+Alt+arrow keys.

When a terminal is not focused, its cursor is an outline (and doesn't blink). Sometimes (but increasingly more often in Oneiric than with older versions) I get the outline cursor even when my GNOME Terminal is focused. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open two windows on different workspaces: say, a browser on workspace 1, and a terminal on workspace 2 2. Focus the browser window 3. Trigger the Scale plugin for windows on all workspaces (<Super>W is the default keybinding for this, I believe) 4. Click on the terminal to focus it (and switch to workspace 2) Expected behavior: cursor in terminal is filled solid and blinking Actual behaviour: cursor in terminal is an empty, non-blinking outline. This does not appear to happen when the terminal is on the same workspace as the window I'm switching from.
