[Gtk-sharp-list] Stability with GTK# and repainting

[Luke Usher]

Finally worked this out. Application.invoke() appends the events to the
event queue and I assumed GTK would pump these automatically. After
adding an idle handler to the window that pumps events manually things
seem to be working fine.

Is this considered best practice when dealing with GTK?

If so, can the responsive
applications(http://www.mono-project.com/Responsive_Applications)
tutorial to explain this a little better? Especially the event queuing
part

Perhaps a better question would be what event does a GTKEntry call to
make the window repaint itself whenever the cursor flickers? I've
noticed everything repaints fine if theres an entry with focus.
