Something to fix the cursor blinking problem soon

Description
Please describe the problem: This bug is related to bug 533522 and 342921. The terminal cursor blink setting should be independent of the system setting. But comments were made to the effect that the UI freeze prevented fixing this for a while. Here's a suggestion for a compromise (temporary) solution so that something can be done soon.
Given the UI freeze, what about at least making the gconf setting do something? That wouldn't involve a UI change at all. Right now, /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/cursor_blink does nothing, and having a non-working setting is a little odd.
Of course, this isn't a proper solution, but it would at lease make gnome-terminal usable again.
