--- Comment #4 from Vincent Povirk madewokherd@gmail.com 2008-10-31 14:49:07 --- John, you can't reopen it because you didn't report the bug.
I really intended this bug as a reminder that there's more work to be done after bug 15808 is closed, in making sure that Wine can be configured so that its builtin programs don't wake the cpu when they are idle. It wasn't meant to be about cursors. I'd prefer to keep it open for that reason. However, that's not a specific defect in Wine, and I can understand why this kind of bug might be closed. Bugzilla admins, if it's ok to have this sort of thing open, please reopen it.
Windows XP can be configured to not blink the cursor (through the Keyboard control panel). Wine should be able to do this as well, even if it's not the default. As far as I can tell, the delay can be adjusted but not to infinity.
I'll investigate the blinking cursor and file a new bug for it if necessary.
