I just suppoused that you've got a good reason for not using it. What I'd
do is something like this:

  blink_timer = gtk_timeout_add(BLINK_TIME_INTERVAL, draw_new_pixmap,
pixmaps);


  where BLINK_TIME_INTERVAL is the time interval between sucesive pixmaps
(in microseconds I guess, GTK manual for details), and draw_new_pixmap is
tha function you use to draw a new pixmap (pixmaps is the argument).

 I think it should work. For more details, it's well explained in the GTK
tutorial.

 Hope this helps,
