Ah, interesting. Yes, indeed, in bash in xterm, "echo $XTERM_VERSION"
answers Xterm(330) but in konsole the answer is empty. Thanks!

IOW, if the cursor is blinking in bash in xterm, with the "even" codes
it wil remain blinking in Vim.

Thanks to you, my problem is solved in both xterm and konsole, with
the folowing code:

" try to change cursor shape in Console mode in xterm-like terminals
" t_EI = █ (Normal)
" t_SR = _ (Replace)
" t_SI = | (Insert)
if !has('gui_running') && has('cursorshape')
if $XTERM_VERSION =~? '^xterm' " a «real» xterm
let &t_EI = "\<Esc>[2 q"
let &t_SI = "\<Esc>[6 q"
let &t_SR = "\<Esc>[4 q"
else " assume konsole
let &t_EI = "\<Esc>]50;CursorShape=0\x7"
let &t_SI = "\<Esc>]50;CursorShape=1\x7"
let &t_SR = "\<Esc>]50;CursorShape=2\x7"
endif
endif


Best regards,
Tony.
