Blinking label

["Diego A. Fons" <diegofons apexar com>]

Hi,

I have to make some kind of blinking text. I'm asking some ideas on how 
to do this.

My idea is to derive my own widget from Gtk::Label and set a timeout 
signal (Glib::signal_timeout().connect( my_slot, 500 ) for example) 
which change the text between "some text" and "". Is that a good idea? 
what about your ideas?

Regards,
Diego A. Fons.
