re blinking cursor in xterm back in the days of x i did analyse the xterm code the cursor was implemented by drawing a rectangle around the character i doesn t seem to be changed til now but if you have the sources you could add a blinking cursor via xtappaddtimeout or similar the server overhead for this is mildly ridiculous though see also desqview x which does this in its dos windows do you really want xterm to wake up every half second and whack the server into doing a bitblt most dos x servers are terribly slow to use in my experience and no i guess performance would be pretty bad i believe the discussion is valid for an x server on a decent workstation the eno the trouble with new age janet da uk ac city music is that there s no eno uk ac city cs evil in it brian eno us da city ac uk cunyvm cuny edu
