I think that code was only intended as a demonstration, not the final
version.

I think trying to do this by changing the background color of cursor
face is the wrong thing, because it results in the cursors in
inactive windows also blinking, which is distracting. The only way to
do this properly is in xterm.c (etc) where the current blinking is
done, probably by using two separate faces.
