   Is there an easier way of stopping the blink-cursor timer than plumbing
   new events through the Emacs core, or turning blink-cursor off?

I don't think so.

Why don't you try adding a ‘focus-lost’ event?

Another (higher-level) approach is to make Emacs recognize
a "go into powersave mode" message (via dbus or whatever).
Then, ‘blink-cursor-mode’ can DTRT w/ the provided hook.

Or perhaps you can trigger on the ‘iconify-frame’ event,
but you would need to iconify Emacs for that.  This would
work well w/ ratpoison, for example.
