Yes, unless you specified ASYNC mode in the application. Checking, if
something changed would be pretty much as slow for many cases (relatively
fast video access) and would hog some RAM for the checking, so ...
Things should be fine for ASYNC applications that are nice about when and
what to flush (see ggiFlushRegion() ...).

Yes, probably. XGGI is unfortunately not easily converted to an ASYNC
application, as the design of the X server does not expect that.
