Hello, I have a container which periodically loses some of its widgets and gains others, sometimes on the order of hundreds. The changeover happens all at once (i.e. there's a big loop which does all the adding and destroying), but it's still pretty ugly and slow because sometimes many repaints are done. I only care about the final repaint. Is there some way that I can prevent the intervening repaints from happening? I've tested hiding and reshowing the container, and it is indeed much faster, but of course I don't want the user to see the container disappear. Ideally I'd have the "before" painting sit until the widget switch-over is done, and then display the "after" painting. I was hoping gdk_window_freeze_updates() and gdk_window_thaw_updates() would help, but they don't seem to do anything. As a test I even tried freezing the root gdk window right before calling gtk_main() (and after showing its widget), but the program proceeded normally. Maybe I'm not understanding what these functions are for. Any insight would be very welcome.
