I hate blinking cursors, don't worry.
I just found it odd that on ttys, the blinking code is currently active,
even tho it has no visible effect (but only because the blinking code
happens to have no known bug).  So I think we should at least turn off (by
default) blink-cursor-mode in terminals.

Indded I could, if I knew enough about redisplay :-(
