Does anyone have a good way of doing rubberbanding with Xlib, by good
I mean where rubberband box keeps up with the cursor. The normal way of 
doing rubberbanding 

erasebox(flush buffer)-redrawbox(flush buffer)-erasebox.. 

requires a roundtrip for each request (batching requests makes it even 
worse) and the cursor is always ahead of the box being drawn. Has anyone
worked a solution where rubberbanding box always tracks thr cursor very
closely.

thanks,
satyendra
