XtSetValues works by first calling the widget's SetValues
Proc.  If this routine indicates that the widget should
be redrawn, Xt will issue a ClearArea on the whole widget.
The widget will not be redrawn until you are back in your
Main Event Loop.

I am sure there are some reasons why Xt calls XClearArea
instead of just calling the widgets redisplay proc immediately.
Whatever they are, they don't seem good enough.
