Why should we only take blink-cursor-mode from there, and ignore all
the rest?  E.g., cursor-blink-time and cursor-blink-timeout.  And then
there are other settings, like cursor-size, clock-format, etc.  It
makes very little sense to take only one setting.

(I know nothing about GTK, so apologies if these are silly questions.)
