    When I bring down the menu
    window, I want to temporarily set the background_pixmap of the parent window to
    None, so the server will not redraw the exposed region. Then I can restore the
    save bits that I have tucked away in a pixmap.

Setting the background to None isn't sufficient, because exposure events
will still be generated.
