See [1] et seq. for a discussion of what I think is the same problem,
where the Cygwin X server doesn't notify X windows of a focus loss
when the focus moves to a non-X window.
Hmm, when I start xterm -bc and click out of xterm (e.g. mintty or
Thunderbird), the cursor stops blinking for me.
If you read [1], you'll see that mentions this behaviour is only seen
with some X clients, and xterm is explicitly mentioned as one for which
it works correctly.
(I think perhaps the problem is with X clients which implement the
WM_TAKE_FOCUS protocol, but I don't seem to have made that connection in
my contemporaneous notes, so perhaps it's more complex than that)
Unfortunately, my attempts at fixing this just introduced more
problems (see [2],[3] et seq.), and so were reverted.
