Stefan,
Have you ever used the Appear event? Nothing actually gets displayed prior
to your event code getting executed. THe qooxdoo code knows to handle the
event code before actually displaying the control, the user does not see
anything except your object displaying at it's new position. I use it all
the time. Give it a try before you dismiss the solution all together, you
might just be pleased with the results.
