With this tip, I just tried it. This will affect both GTK windows as
well as gnome-terminal, it seems. I suggest people actually try it and
see how much it impacts you. What I am left with, after disabling the
blinking, is the cursor in the "blink-on" state, for what it's worth.
Can we at least try it? I will, and I'll probably forget that it used
to blink after a day or so (or even a few hours).
I'm rather ambivalent at the moment, but I believe if it's something
that can quantitatively reduce power consumption, even if only a little
bit, it's worth trying (i.e., just ourselves for now). I hope that's
not flame-worthy.
