Bug#568494: gnome-terminal: please provide UI for cursor blink option

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 2.28.2-1
Severity: wishlist

The GNOME Terminal source apparently provides for non-blinking cursors
via setting cursor_blink_mode to off for the relevant profile.
However, this does not appear to be exposed in the GUI.  IWBNI this
were a documented option available from the relevant options dialog.
