// get cursor blink time
GtkSettings *pSettings =
gtk_widget_get_settings( gWidgetData[m_nScreen].gEditBoxWidget );
gboolean blink = false;
g_object_get( pSettings, "gtk-cursor-blink", &blink, (char *)NULL );
if!( blink )
    aStyleSet.SetCursorBlinkTime( STYLE_CURSOR_NOBLINKTIME );
else
    ...

If gtk doesn't blink the cursor then OOo shouldn't blink either, in
theory at least.
