Well...
I will try to explain me clearly... If it isn't clear please notify me...
The main trouble comes from the fact that we can't know if an image is 
displayed or not. So actually, at each frame, we notify Tk that the image has 
changed and Tk will propagate the information to all widgets linked to the 
image. Then, each widget will check if the image is displayed or not and if 
it is displayed it will ask us to redraw it. And just before we redraw it, we 
copy our internal buffer to the image and we ask to Tk to draw it (don't 
forget we act as a hook).
Now, I just think about that, but not sure it will be good since it can raise 
inconsistencies, in place of change the image just before we warn Tk we 
changed it, we can increment when we draw itso that when the image is hidden 
it stops and resumes only when we redisplay it. Now the inconsistency, 
imagine the same image is displayed at two places in same time, one is showed 
and one is hidden, if we display the hidden one, it will show us a frame. We 
rehide it wait a little and show it again, we won't have the animation where 
we leave it ! So I prefer it does the same thing everywhere and everytime : 
it continues the animation in the background.
