GtkEntry Persistent Cursor

[Michael Carrara <mcarrara rossvideo com>]

Hello All,

I'm creating a menu that is essentially an onscreen reproduction of a 
keyboard. It has all the buttons of a keyboard and at the bottom has a 
GtkEntry where whatever you type on the either the software keyboard or 
your actual keyboard is displayed. What I'd like to know is, is it 
possible, even if another widget(or even another window, as this app has 
multiple windows) has the focus, for the cursor (the blinking line that 
displays your position) to remain in the GtkEntry textbox? Even a 
non-blinking, static cursor indicator would suffice. I've seen this in 
other apps and was hoping it would be a simple option but I can't seem 
to find it.

Any suggestions are appreciated
Mike
