If I use this function to get my window instead of _get_root_window() and
set it to NULL nothing happens at all. :-(

I tried to look at the gtkentry.c code but I only managed to find the
place where the cursor is changed to X_TERM or nothing (BTW, I'm using
exactly this function to make the cursor disappear), not where it is
restored again.

Ciao
