Hi Tom,

LyX on Mac reads the defaults values NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriodOff and 
NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriodOn on startup.

If only one of both values is set the cursor blink is disabled. If both are set 
the cursor blinks with a rate of the sum of these values (given in 
milliseconds).

You may set them with the e.g. the following command in Terminal:

defaults write -g NSTextInsertionPointBlinkPeriodOn 1000

The system preference „non-blinking cursor“ is not supported yet. I don’t know 
how to read the user setting programmatically.

BR Stephan
