This makes sense and is what Havoc said was happening too.

Hi Joaquin,
I tried this but it didn't work. I have this cod ein
gr_UnixGraphics.cpp
#ifdef USE_XFT
//
// Martin's attempt to make double buffering work.with xft
//
#if 1
gint xoff,yoff;
GdkDrawable * realDraw;
gdk_window_get_internal_paint_info (m_pWin, &realDraw,&xoff,&yoff);
m_pGC = gdk_gc_new(realDraw);
m_pXORGC = gdk_gc_new(realDraw);
m_pVisual = GDK_VISUAL_XVISUAL( gdk_drawable_get_visual(realDraw));
m_Drawable = gdk_x11_drawable_get_xid(realDraw);
#else
m_pVisual = GDK_VISUAL_XVISUAL(gdk_window_get_visual(win));
m_Drawable = GDK_WINDOW_XWINDOW(m_pWin);
m_pGC = gdk_gc_new(m_pWin);
m_pXORGC = gdk_gc_new(m_pWin);
#endif
m_pXftFont = NULL;
m_Colormap = GDK_COLORMAP_XCOLORMAP(m_pColormap);
m_pXftDraw = XftDrawCreate(GDK_DISPLAY(), m_Drawable, m_pVisual,
m_Colormap);
#else
m_pGC = gdk_gc_new(m_pWin);
m_pXORGC = gdk_gc_new(m_pWin);
#endif
What is wrong here?
If you download the current source, comment out the
gtk_enable_double_buffering(widget, FALSE)
code in
xap_UnixDialogHelper.cpp
xap_UnixFrame.cpp
ap_UnixStatusBar.cpp
Also do you know what to look at to stop abiword loading all the fonts
at startup?
Cheers
Martin
