Taking a second look at my workaround, I realize now that the "Settings
Editor" is actually xfce4-settings-editor so this presumably only
applies to Xubuntu or a system which otherwise has xfce as the desktop
environment.

I thought I would add the workaround I found which applies to Xubuntu
18.04 but possibly others:
To make the cursor keep blinking in GTK-based applications (which
includes gnome-terminal, xfce4-terminal, gedit, pidgin and many others):
1. Open Settings Editor from the Settings menu.
2. Select
I really don't have much experience reporting bugs with large open
projects. I tried asking in what I thought was the correct venue but
didn't get a response. As long as people who were in my situation can
discover the solution via finding this report or the answer I posted to
the related question
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
It seems the symptom is specific to xfce, where the values in xfconf
seem to control the relevant behavior. The cursor blinking timeout for
GTK applications can be controlled by adding a new integer key
"/Gtk/CursorBlinkTimeout" to the "xsettings" channel.

Title:
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

I'd like to report that the workaround suggested in comment #8 has no
effect in Xubuntu 18.04. It seems the native xfce4-terminal is also
affected. I thought I'd solve the issue by switching to a terminal that
isn't built on GTK so I installed Eterm, only to learn that not only
