The caret got fatter

A little update on the fatten of the caret thing.
Thanks to a post I made on the Ubuntu forums, there is a way to modify the caret size globally on Gnome.

The key is editing the gtkrc file of theme, on a plain Vanilla Ubuntu, that would usually be:
'/usr/share/themes/theme.in.use/gtk-2.0/gtkrc'

You have to add to the file:

## -----------------------------------------------

# This will adjust the overall color and size of
# the text cursor
# Originaly the aspect ratios were set to 0.1
# You can play this aspect radio value (from .1 to .9)
# I like .9 but you might what something different like .7 or .8
GtkEntry::cursor_color = { 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 }
GtkEntry::cursor_aspect_ratio = 0.39

GtkTextView::cursor_color = { 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 }
GtkTextView::cursor_aspect_ratio = 0.39

EelEditableLabel::cursor_color = { 0.00, 0.00, 0.00 }
EelEditableLabel::cursor_aspect_ratio = 0.39

## -----------------------------------------------
