Well, I just saw that Adrien proposed a workaround/fix for this problem on
the list one year ago:
  http://yquem.inria.fr/pipermail/lablgtk/2009-December/000335.html

He changed
  Thread.delay 0.0001;
into
  Thread.delay 0.013;

Could we integrate this ? And may be provide a function to change the delay
used in the fix ?
