I think he means caching a bitmap of that window from the last time
that it was mapped, until it's mapped again. However, if fvwm did that,
then it's an fvwm thing, and I don't think that xwd looks into fvwm structs
to rescue bitmaps. This is an X thing, not an fvwm ones. Or maybe I 
misunderstood something.
