text cursor invisible in empty gtk_entry

[Bill Medland <billmedland mercuryspeed com>]

Can someone point me in the right direction please.

I have an application that contains a lot of gtk_entry widgets; 
basically there is a lot of text entry.

Suppose the keyboard focus moves from a gtk_entry that contains 
text to one that does not yet contain any text.  The previous 
entry still has its content hightlit and there is no text/bar 
cursor in the new entry.  This leaves an impression that the 
focus hasn't moved and it is not clear where the keyboard focus 
actually is.

a. How do I get the highlighting to leave the previous field?
b. How do I get the cursor to appear in the new field?
c. Is this behaviour controlled by some sort of look&feel 
somewhere or is it part of the design?
