In Xfce 4.6 Xfwm you can actually decide a) whether you want urgency
blinking and b) whether urgency blinking should keep going forever or
stop after a reasonable time.

The version that stops after a while is very nice if you like me find
urgency helpful but prefer to ignore the hint if you are occupied. :)

You should give the current 4.6 Beta a try.
