Thanks for the detailed response, John.
When you say KDE, do you mean the desktop alternative to Gnome?

I use set guicursor=a:blinkwait200-blinkon200-blinkoff200 in gvim, effectively a 5 Hz blink, and the default 1 Hz is just too anaemic. So I stuck with gnome-terminal for years, running a gnome-settings-daemon manually. Then gnome-terminal started fighting with kwin, and I switched to xterm for a while, it has (slightly weird) scroll bars and can set the blink on and off times; and it is supported really well. But I don't think it does tabs, which I don't use much anyway, preferring to open lots of windows.
