Is it correct to say that if a canvas is transparent, it will never receive
damage events? 
We are currently running NeWS 1.1. In the code that I have written, it appears
that if the canvas is transparent NeWS will not generate damage events for it. 
Is this true in X11/NeWS? or is it a bug in NeWS 1.1 that X11/NeWS has fixed?

I am posing this question because I do not recall reading anything 
in the NeWS 1.1 reference manual that explicitly states that transparent 
canvases do not receive damage events.
