This is not the same thing. Emacs does blink as long as it can
receive X events. When focus is lost it stops blinking, but
before implementing stopping of timers, the timers kept on running
for no purpose at all, except burning CPU cycles and battery time.
It should be easy enough for those timers to stop themselves
when they find out Emacs doesn't have the focus.
Doing this at the level of Lisp code might seem more general.
In many situations it is good to be general. In a situation like
this, I think specific C code is safer.
