gtk_widget_show - acts slowly

[Simon Jerram <simon jerram btinternet com>]

In part of a programme I have a call to a function
which calls 

    gtk_widget_show(entry)

where entry is a pointer to an instance of GTK_ENTRY.

The actual entry box appears on the screen several
seconds after the fundction has returned, indeed
after several other components have been rendered.

Any ideas why?
