GTK redraws a little slowly. Would it be nice if the containers (or the parent widgets) got a pixmap buffer for drawing the children into it, so that when the widget has to redraw, it splash the final image completely on the screen?. This way, the number of redraw calls to the windowing system will reduce to only draw the final image. You don't have to call for the redraw every time a child widget is being draw (which is one of the things that slow down GTK, I think. Correct me if I am wrong, please.). A last question: Double buffered widgets could speed things up? I have heared some rumors about new versions of GTK having this feature. How can this speed things up?. I don't understand why. I think that the pixmap method described earlier could totally resolve the problem, couldn't it? -- To unsubscribe: mail -s unsubscribe [EMAIL PROTECTED] < /dev/null
