Package: gnome-terminal
Version: 3.4.1.1-1
Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

I've recently upgraded to wheezy from stable; in stable, gnome-terminal
would change its cursor from a solid box to an empty box when it lost
focus.  This appears to no longer be the case.  Coupled with Gnome 3's
disinclination to provide any clear indication as to which window is
currently focused (it changes the colour of the window title text, which
is at the other end of the screen from where my cursor is most of the
time), this makes it very easy to mistakenly think you're focused and
start typing into the wrong window.

It would be extremely helpful if you could restore the empty box cursor
for unfocused windows.
