User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.7.5) Gecko/20041107 Firefox/1.0

As the demo URL shows, in textfield for Name, no blinking text insertion cursor
ever shows up.  One can edit the field as normal, but there is never a blinking
text insertion cursor.  

This only happens when there are stacked <div>s with alternating visibility as
is used in the demo URL above to simulated a tabbed interface to different 
elements of a form.  If the second <div> is simply removed, there is no problem
with the text insertion cursor of the text field on the first <div>

Also, this problem is only on Linux.  Firefox 1.0 in Windows and OSX works fine.
So I am guessing a bug in the way GTK is used or could be a bug in GTK itself.
I am using Fedora Core 2.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Load above demo URL
2. Click in the Name: text field
3. Type and edit.  No text insertion cursor every shows.  You are editing blind.

Actual Results:  
No text insertion cursor every shows.

Expected Results:  
Show a text insertion cursor.
