I'm a little confused now! In my original posting I mentioned that I usually "define a backing pixmap in a 'configure' callback, draw the graphical content into the pixmap, then copy it to the drawing-area in one go in an 'expose' callback". I guess this is what you are recommending I do. John Cupitt mentioned in a previous posting in this thread that "Gtk now does this for you" which suggests to me that if I'm using my own backing pixmap and Gtk is using *its* own backing pixmap, there's some redundancy...! So what's the answer? Sorry to labour the point, I'd just like to be sure I understand what's going on. :) Regards, -- David J.
