IDLE's cursor blinks with Python 3.0 on Linux. But it shouldn't (and doesn't for prior versions) because in my .Xdefaults file I have the line: *insertOffTime: 0 Now I have to manually edit idlelib/EditorWindow.py to stop the cursor from blinking. (I also have to do this on Windows because IDLE ignores the blink rate set in the control panel.) I am one of a minority of people who cannot work with blinking cursors. I hope that at the least IDLE will get an option to switch it off.
