Bug Description

Refreshing the Dash search bar because of the flashing caret (cursor) uses power, and impacts battery life.

Ideally (in line with the behaviour of Gnome-Terminal et al) the caret should stop flashing after 10 seconds of no keyboard input, ensuring a zero-frames-per-second rate coming from Unity. The caret should resume when the keyboard is touched, and possibly also following mouse movement.
