Description William Jon McCann 2010-11-11 22:37:39 UTC 
From docs:
 * Time after which the cursor stops blinking, in seconds.
 * The timer is reset after each user interaction.

This is useful to have because it allows us to keep cursor blink on by default but stop blinking after a time to allow cpu power management.

the corresponding x setting is   "Net/CursorBlinkTime\0"     "gtk-cursor-blink-time\0"
Comment 1 Bastien Nocera 2010-11-11 22:39:22 UTC 
That means we need to make the "cursor-blink" an enum, (on/off/off after timeout) and add another setting with a nice default timeout.

Which should be attached to the "gtk-cursor-blink-timeout" property
for GTK+.

Thanks Bastien!
Comment 7 Bastien Nocera 2010-11-12 16:55:53 UTC 
Net/CursorBlinkTime is for the amount of time between each blink of the cursor, not for the time before it stops blinking.

Seems like there's no XSetting for gtk-cursor-blink-timeout.
