I believe gnome-terminal blinks its block cursor by default (but I don't know any easy way of checking what the default settings in gnome are, so I can't state this with 100% certainty -- anyway, google turns up FAQ entries for gnome-terminal describing how to turn off the blinking cursor etc). Other gtk apps, mozilla etc. certainly do, using a bar cursor. Anyway, we've already had this flame war. If some people are really physically repulsed by it to the degree Luc professes (I admit, I suspect hyperbole), an option in the option menu seems reasonable, and certainly not worth _another_ long flame war. -Miles -- Do not taunt Happy Fun Ball. _______________________________________________ Emacs-devel mailing list Emacs-devel@gnu.org http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/emacs-devel
