Bug Description
Binary package hint: gnome-terminal
The blinking of the cursor in GNOME Terminal can be deactivated using gconf (that was fixed in #188732). Though there is still the issue of there being no UI to do this in the profile preferences, which was also mentioned in that bug, but the bug was "Fix Released", and I figured this needed its own report.

The patch found on the GNOME bug didn't quite work, but with some small modifications, it now works.

I will send the diff upstream, but they seem very reticent about fixing the bug and there's been no activity in 2 years, so let's not hold our breath.
