Today's GNU Emacs CVS snapshot, Wed, 2005 Mar 2 11:50 UTC
GNU Emacs 22.0.50.13 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.6.2)
started with
/usr/local/src/emacs/src/emacs -Q
As suggested, I just tried out
(setq cursor-type 'hollow)
for my selected window.
In summary, I find it irritating to use any kind of blinking cursor,
even hollow. I know that some like blinking cursors just as some
like <blink> text on Web sites. But I do not.
A non-blinking cursor-type 'hollow is OK for a non-selected window and
can be left that way.
As I suggested earlier, Emacs should return to the format used by
other user environments, and offer a non-blinking cursor by default.
If not, Emacs should make the option easy for people to change. The
blinking or non-blinking cursor option and the options for shapes for
selected and non-selected windows are more important than the current
"Truncate Long Lines in this Buffer". (I am not claiming that the
long lines option is unimportant, only that it is a buffer specific
option that often does not effect `this buffer'. Consequently, it is
less important than general options that have effects in all buffers.)
