Public bug reported:

Normall, it works like this: When a terminal is focused its cursor is
solid (and blinking).  When a terminal is not focused, its cursor is an
outline (and doesn't blink).

Sometimes (but increasingly more often in Oneiric than with older
versions) I get the outline cursor even when my GNOME Terminal is
focused.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open two windows on different workspaces: say, a browser on workspace 1, and a terminal on workspace 2
2. Focus the browser window
3. Trigger the Scale plugin for windows on all workspaces (<Super>W is the default keybinding for this, I believe)
4. Click on the terminal to focus it (and switch to workspace 2)

Expected behavior: cursor in terminal is filled solid and blinking

Actual behaviour: cursor in terminal is an empty, non-blinking outline.

This does not appear to happen when the terminal is on the same
workspace as the window I'm switching from.
