Package: icewm
Severity: minor

Please try
$ emacs& #running "server-start", and then after a while
$ emacsclient /tmp/bla
(which creates the only "blinking tab" situation I've ever encountered.)
Notice a tab at the bottom of the screen starts blinking.
Now use ALT-TAB-TAB-TAB-TAB... to move around the window tabs at the
bottom of the screen. Don't let go of ALT.
Notice that when we are directly upon the emacs tab, it is hard to
notice it.
That is because the blinking and "current tab" indications conflict.
You should show both properties at the same time somehow.

If you happen to instead be looking at the center of the screen, emacs
is not blinking there, by the way.

OK, now repeat the experiment.
Notice how from our position in xterm having just typed
$ emacsclient /tmp/bla
we need not just ALT-TAB to go to the emacs window, but ALT-TAB-TAB,
as ALT-TAB goes nowhere in this case!
