	We are having a similar problem, with a pull down menu causing an expose event that
makes the exposed window redraw.  If we could just save a region of the hidden window's pixmap,
do the pulldown, then restore the region, I would avoid the redraw.  Of course, since
the hidden window can change while my pull-downs are in effect, I may restore bad information.
In that case, a full window redraw is appropriate.  No clues from the way I've implemented
the pull-downs, as the window that gets hidden/exposed is a black-box product; I only have
an executable that I'm wrapping the X interface around.
