But that's exactly what's happening on Maemo (because as Arjan said there's a requirement to save power/cycles), and the net result is (obviously) that when the task switcher opens applications are not redrawn (thus you get old views: outdated time in clock application [1], outdated dynamic pages in browser, etc.). This and the recent related discussion about the display off event [2] (which on Maemo btw is a separate D-Bus signal) is the reason I mentioned the issue on irc.
