I agree that control of the blink _rate_ isn't needed. I would certainly welcome a "[X] blinking cursor" checkbox that defaulted to being checked so that existing behaviour is unchanged, but at the same time offering an easier solution (i.e., no blinking if the user unchecks & of course saving and restoring this setting with the other IDLE settings) for those of us who can't work with cursor blink instead of forcing us to edit EditWindow.py for every version of Python we install on all our partitions & machines.
