Re: (severe) performance issues

I changed from gtk_labels to gtk_entries instead and cpu usage
drops to near zero now.  Took me a while to figure out how the hell
to get the entry's background to change so that it essentially
disappeared (and displays looking exactly like a label).

so as of now my problem is solved by a hack around a problem INSIDE
of GTK+.

It doesn't render quite right in WinXP however. (and I suspect it
may do that in various GTK+ themes), but my users can live with it
now, as they can at least run it without it bringing their systems
to their knees).
