Bug#656032: gnome-terminal: cursor doesn't focus when switching xmonad desktops

[auvergne]

Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.2.1-2
Severity: normal

Dearest Maintainer,

If I open a terminal on a particular xmonad desktop,
then switch between other desktops for a while,
opening and closing terminals, upon switching back to the
first (or sometimes even second) terminal, the (block) cursor
looks as though the window is not focused, even though the terminal
works fine.

I entered this as a bug under gnome-terminal because that's where
I've seen it most often, but I think it qualifies as a normal bug
because it has also appeared in gedit.  Since the cursor does not
appear at all in gedit unless the window is focused, you can't tell
where the cursor is unless you're typing, which makes the arrow keys
pretty much unusable.

This should probably be forwarded to one of the dependencies
below, but I don't know which one, so I'm reporting it here.
