Or, even easier: from the terminal do
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/cursor_blink_mode off
.Update
# Older way:
gconftool-2 --type string --set \
/apps/gnome-terminal/profiles/Default/cursor_blink_mode off
gconftool-2 --type bool --set /apps/metacity/general/auto_raise true
gconftool-2 --type int --set /apps/metacity/general/auto_raise_delay 500
gconftool-2 --type string --set /apps/metacity/general/focus_mode mouse
# Newer way:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-blink false
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/focus-mode mouse
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/auto-raise true
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/auto-raise-delay 500
# GTK3 way:
gsettings set org.gnome.desktop.interface cursor-blink false
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/input-sources/xkb-options "['ctrl:nocaps']"
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/focus-mode "'mouse'"
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/auto-raise true
dconf write /org/gnome/desktop/wm/preferences/auto-raise-delay 500
Wouldn't it be nice if they'd stop messing with how to do this?
