Or perhaps such an addition wouldn't be appropriate because it only applies to GTK applications and the xfce team would only want to include such a control if it were universal? In any case, I'll try to bring this to the attention of the xfce maintainers (and add answers to askubuntu.com, etc).

I grepped for 463 against everything in my home directory and this was at the top of the list: .config/xfce4/xfconf/xfce-perchannel-xml/xsettings.xml: (Apparently I'm also not very familiar with the xfce ecosystem.) It seems there is some mechanism by which changes to properties in dconf

The blink time does seem to be a bit less than a half second. If I count the seconds out loud it blinks twice each second with a little time to spare. "dconf dump /" doesn't yield any instances of 463, but does show 1205 for cursor-blink-time (so it's in harmony with the dconf-editor GUI), and

#2 Thanks for the comment. I'm accustomed to blinking following focus. The values I have in dconf are: cursor-blink: true cursor-blink-time: 1200 cursor-blink-timeout: 1 I built vte 0.54.1 and ran the test app with debugging messages on as you described. There is a line referring to "Cursor

VTE does have code in place to support these variables and they work for me. No need for reboot, not even to restart gnome-terminal, it should pick up the change immediately. It stops blinking the cursor when the focus is lost, and restarts blinking it when the terminal is focused again. Are you
