[pygtk] Handle Screenupdates, but no Input Events

Hi,

After changing the cursor to gtk.gdk.WATCH, I do

while gtk.events_pending():
    gtk.main_iteration()

Can the above code be changed, to only update the screen,
and to leave keyboard/mouse events in the queue?

If the user presses the page-down key several times,
the keypress events get handled before the update of the
cursor. In my app the keyevent needs 1-5 seconds the be handled.
Six times 5 seconds are a half minute without a visible change in 
the app. That's too long.

 Thomas
