Bug#283158: gedit: Cannot change cursor color

[Michael Spang]

Package: gedit
Version: 2.8.1-3
Severity: wishlist

gedit allows you to change the background color, but not the cursor color. gedit is a great editor and I would like to be able to use a black background without having an invisible cursor. It's navy blue right now but it's still a strain on the eyes to locate the cursor. So.. and option to change the cursor to another color (ie, white) would be extremely helpful.
