(started a new thread so that I don't have to quote tons of old mails ;-) Here is a simple solution to all problems with flickering that does not even require all these additional windows: Draw behind the scenes.
- Create a sub window of the frame that has background_pixmap set to None. - Stack it above all the decorative windows, but below the title bar windows and the parent. - Before an animation step, resize it to a size that covers both, the old and new size of the frame window. - Map it. Because of the "None" background pixmap, it just gets the contents of the windows that it covered. - Draw the new border and title windows behind that 'invisible' window (as background pixmaps). - Give the 'invisible' window UnmapGravity and set the proper gravities of the decoration windows. - Resize the frame. Said window is automagically unmapped and uncovers the windows below it. - The X server automatically draws the now exposed parts with the background pixmaps of these windows. The only unwanted side effect is that the X server draws the complete border in each step, although it does that without any additional client/server communication. Probably not much of a problem because it already does that right now for half of the border. All this is invisible because it just repaints the same pixels that are already there.
