I can suggest creating a pixmap the size of your window, "drawing" into
that pixmap, and then using XCopyArea to copy the pixmap into the window.
This should eliminate flashing that takes place when you draw directly into
a window.  Of couse, I cannot guarantee how well this will work for animation,
but it's worth a try.  Let me know if this works for you or if you find
a better way.
