I have tried this before but forgot mentioning it. For the program considered (plotting a moving bar diagram) this works, but only in a part of the window. Beside this, the whole X screen behaves strangely, with changes (e.g., the WM menu) appearing ghostlike only in the surrounding of the mouse pointer. > I have seen various posting that seem to indicate that backing store > support is not trusted anymore... perhaps it is no longer being > maintained. Well, one should not rely too much on backing store, but on other servers, it works sufficiently well.
