    Is there any technique, one can use to prevent the "dumb" version from
    redrawing the top-level window more than once?

You could set Unmap win-gravity on the child.  When the parent is resized,
the child will get unmapped, and the parent will repaint.  Reconfigure
the child, and then map it again.  The parent will not get further exposures.

    Is there a way of recognizing all the exposures as part of the same
    "macro" event, without possibly missing an exposures due to outside
    interference?  

I'm not sure what you mean by "macro" event.
