Philippe,
I'll add to Mark's comments by saying some hw/driver configurations can
help minimize expose events. If your hardware supports RGB overlays,
and the driver supports two seperate cliplists for image and overlay
planes, then expose events can be minimized. Your GUI (including all
pop up and transient windows) would run in the overlays (they would need
to be your default visual), and then your application should create it's
main viewing window in the image planes. In this configuration,
transient overlay windows do not destroy color data in the image planes.
Consequently, the server would not need to generate expose events for
this case.
Regards,
Jens
