Hey Rutger, That really sounds like the standard use case for deferRendering() and resumeRendering(). What behavior are you seeing when you use these calls?
See also here for how it's used in combination with the asynchronous HTTP client: http://www.webtoolkit.eu/wt/doc/reference/html/classWt_1_1Http_1_1Client.html You still need to take the updateLock or post() to the application for the 'deferred' part that touches the widget hierarchy and calls resumeRendering().
