   With regard to moving the "Blinking Cursor" option away from the top

   previous "Hide/Show"): the only complaints that I heard were
   procedural complaints about me not waiting long enough before I
   install such a change.  When people said something about the idea
   itself, it seemed supportive.  It's been now about 3 days, so I shall
   go ahead and do that.  If I misunderstood something, reverting is
   always possible.

The objections have been formulated before:

All the options in Hide/Show hide/show something, in the usual sense
these words have in English.  blink-cursor-mode does not hide/show the
cursor.  It does not belong in this group.  That is why Richard asked
to commit it at top level.  Hide/Sow is a much more accurate
description of what the group contains than "Appearance".

Sincerely,

Luc.
