Hey, I committed a patch on the weekend implementing the _NET_WM_SYNC_REQUEST protocol described here: http://standards.freedesktop.org/wm-spec/1.3/ar01s06.html
There isn't much info about it on the web; the best I could find is from the Qt blog: http://labs.qt.nokia.com/2009/06/10/smooth-and-solid-resizing-on-x11/ Resizing feels a lot better to me now. The window contents and window manager's frame stay together about as well as GTK now - not perfect, but better than before. When using the window manager's window decorations (i.e. GSBackHandlesWindowDecorations is not NO) my patch had the side effect of getting rid of the black flashing when resizing. I was seeing the entire window repeatedly flash solid black while resizing. I saw this in all WM's I tried (windowmaker, metacity, enlightenment 0.17). Were other people seeing this as well? Is it gone now? When resizing using the GNUstep provided window border the black flashing is still present, though, so we should probably try to figure out what's causing that.
