just a way of clarification.

the RT blinking is a recent "feature" of QjackCtl. you can turn it off 
in the Setup/Display/Blink server mode display option if you don't like 
it :)

the RT indication being there, either blinking or not, is a simple 
indication that the jack server is running in real-time mode. the 
blinking is just some lousy eye-candy, nothing more, nothing less ...

it just happens that qjackctl displays new xruns and blinks at the very 
same time (~2 second period). the xruns are happening in between (and 
count reported as "skipped") it just doesn't matter whether the RT 
indicator is blinking or not.
