Wouldn't "backing store" mitigate this particular instance? Backing store does what it sounds like: cache image data for overlapping windows. I don't know how well it works, though. Starting X with +bs on the command line, or adding 'Option "backingstore"' to the Device section, will enable backing store. Its disabled by default, presumably because 1) X is usually run locally, so caching isn't needed and 2) it uses more ram. -- Francis Avila ------------------------------------------------------- This sf.net email is sponsored by:ThinkGeek Welcome to geek heaven. http://thinkgeek.com/sf _____________________________________________________________________ Ltsp-discuss mailing list.
