Nope, that shows it already disabled (as does the "keyboard" settings
dialog). It's just that the applications don't seem to be paying
attention anymore...
I tested this and am unable to duplicate on a fully updated F15 (
branched )
I went to system settings --> keyboard and turned off cursor blinking (
the gconf setting appears to be deprecated since it already was disabled
for me ) and it no longer blinks in Gnome-terminal and Gedit
If you are running rawhide ( what now will become F16 ) expect things to
be broken for some time since maintainers wont necessary build/update
components for F16 since all the focus is on branched at the moment ( F15 ).
Note it's not uncommon for reporters to accidently continue to stay on
the rawhide train instead of disabling rawhide and enable
updates-testing when it get's branched.
If you need a usable system I recommend that you stay away from the
rawhide train until it hits alpha which is sometime late August if
memory serves me correct.
