rxvt in Debian Jessie uses libx11 not GTK.  If what you are seeing is
a GTK artifact then rxvt won't experience it.

I am not experiencing this using a Debian Jessie stock install of the
emacs24-lucid package.  It uses the Lucid toolkit instead of GTK.  You
might give it an install and test to see if it flashes for you or
not.  I find the Lucid emacs avoids some annoyances of the GTK emacs
and therefore it is the normal one for me.
