Summary:                    text curser blinks while moving
Description: 
The text curser will blink while it's moving. It's very distracting and
gives the impression that it's flashing randomly.

I just checked and the text cursor in other gtk applications (namely
evolution) does not blink while holding down the space bar. Anybody know
how to tell gtk not to blink the cursor?

It is a race condition between the cursor blink and callback. All gtk
entries have the race condition, but if the callback is simple the the
blinking occurs too rapidly to notice. The only ways to eliminate it are
to change the blink rate or eliminate all blink. This can't be done
(legitimately, AFAIK) in gtk.
