If your geda-gaf version is 1.9.x, you can try to use the gaf utility.
(gschem works as well, if you'll want to see how it blinks :)

I've mentioned the trick with changing the colors in print-color-map
or display-color-map structures. You can change or disable (make it
transparent) any color you want. I cannot recall whether I added this to
the geda wiki, and I'm lazy to search for it now since I'm a bit tired,
but you can try to search for it in the list and in the wiki. If you'll
not find anything, please let me now, I'll send you my settings :)


Cheers,
