I understand this is a Gnome change, but they've applied logic a step
too far. There's a big physical difference between a one-pixel-wide
cursor used in Gtk+ text areas, etc., and a one-character-filled-
rectangle used by gnome-terminal. The former I want to blink because it
can be hard to spot. The latter is easy to spot and its blinking is a
distraction, just like animated ads or blink text on a web page; and we
block those!
I see why it was set to Invalid, this isn't a bug but a `feature'
imposed by Gnome. But it is a bug because they made it based on them
both being `cursors' without regard for their different physical
appearance, so I'm setting this bug to Confirmed. There seems to be a
considerable body of people that had the two cursors with different
blink settings.
** Changed in: gnome-terminal (Ubuntu)
Status: Invalid => Confirmed
