bug#3681: 23.1.50; blink-cursor-mode and dead keys.

I'm using emacs on Ubuntu 9.04 with US Intl keyboard layout:

setxkbmap -model pc101 -layout us -variant intl

When blink-cursor-mode is off, the sequence

<dead-key> <letter>

does not produce any output on the screen. Once you write something
else (or just Ctrl-g) the letter appears with the dead key
applied. This is an exact recipe:

emacs -Q [ENTER]
M-x blink-cursor-mode [ENTER]
'e

This should output the letter é on the screen, but does not. Now write
something else and the letter é will appear along with whatever you
wrote after it.
