I wonder if firefox window gets redrawn when you scroll or move stuff over it. I fondly remember GTK1 overdrawing the scrollbar with grey rectangles, then putting the scrollbar pixmaps on top, repeated about 6 times, and this all done a few times per second for a nice flickering effect on your scollbar..
Do the widget toolkits still only push pixels to the screen, or do they actually take advantage of any acceleration features that X provides? - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
