Re: The cursor blinks again, but I can't tweak it

@Tony I need exact env before I experiment more. Confirm if its gtk3 - wl 
or x11?

I'm not that well-versed in guicursor settings - I find the doc quite 
confusing.

@Christian can you confirm whether its proper to use prepending in this 
case and if you can expect a stable cursor without hiccups using those 
exact values?
