Yeah, I already tried that, although I did repaint the whole layer when I thawed which is REALLY a bad idea. I guess it would be possible to store the regions that need repainting and then calculate the most optimal way of repainting (TL window to BR window in one repaint or several repaints for each region) In my code for it, src/core/windows.c:repaint_stack just returns when the layer is frozen. > > I'm working on a window manager for DirectFB, but it's impossible to > > make it usefull the way DirectFB is right now.
