	Try setting the clip region for a graphics context to the region you
want to clear then fill the entire window with the background pixel/pixmap
as defined in the window attributes using this graphics context.  This is
not straight forward but it works, and once done can be use in any program.
I do something similar to this when I collect expose events durring
graphic animations. I would post the code but it does not do exactly
what you want.
