We could, but sounds complicated, for the same reasons temporarily
binding blink-cursor-blinks to zero is: you'd have to start those
dummy events when the menu is activated (otherwise processing these
events will effectively undo the benign effect of batteries of
stopping the blinking), and stop them when the menu pops down, which
is tricky at best, as I explained elsewhere in this thread.

But if someone wants to work on this, and they come up with a clean
patch, it'd be welcome.

Bonus points for explaining why the tips _are_ displayed, but after a
much longer delays than intended.
