I noticed strange behavior in gnome-terminal: When the terminal has focus, the cursor is blinking. After it loses focus, the cursor keeps blinking for about 10 seconds, then stops. I'd like the cursor to stop blinking immediately after the focus is lost (and to start blinking immediately after the focus is gained). Is there a way to do that?
I'm on 12.04 with unity-2d and have the focus follows mouse policy enabled.
