Error Blinking cursor

Cursor is blinking (slightly) while loading page in Firefox, or during scrolling a window.
I tried some variants of linux (gnome permanently) and of course my solaris.
May be an artifact of X-window? Cause in windows cursor is stable (i'm feeling more confident).
PS: It makes me nervous.

XDefineCursor(3)						  XLIB FUNCTIONS						  XDefineCursor(3)

NAME
XDefineCursor, XUndefineCursor - define cursors SYNTAX
int XDefineCursor(Display *display, Window w, Cursor cursor); int XUndefineCursor(Display *display, Window w); ARGUMENTS
cursor Specifies the cursor that is to be displayed or None. display Specifies the connection to the X server. w Specifies the window. DESCRIPTION
If a cursor is set, it will be used when the pointer is in the window. If the cursor is None, it is equivalent to XUndefineCursor. XDefineCursor can generate BadCursor and BadWindow errors. The XUndefineCursor function undoes the effect of a previous XDefineCursor for this window. When the pointer is in the window, the par- ent's cursor will now be used. On the root window, the default cursor is restored. XUndefineCursor can generate a BadWindow error. DIAGNOSTICS
BadAlloc The server failed to allocate the requested resource or server memory. BadCursor A value for a Cursor argument does not name a defined Cursor. BadWindow A value for a Window argument does not name a defined Window. SEE ALSO
