I did not disable it for ttys in particular, but for w32.  If there is no 
focus-in implementation for w32 (as the case is right now), cursors won't start 
blinking when a frame gets focus again.

But then the above applies, it won't stop blinking if the (for example) xterm 
looses focus and it wont start blining when the xterm regains focus.  The 
latter is more serious IMHO.
