Ehum... didn't I say just that in the previous messages? So why have I
been told I was wrong? What do you think I've been up to all this time
during the discussion?

Why make a big deal of it, if the app can just do that:
if (have_vtswitch_request()) {
backstore=ggiOpen("memory",...)
ggiSetMode(backstore,...);
ggiCrossBlit(currvis => backstore,...);
savedvis=currvis;
currvis=backstore;
}

he said the app should do that, not the kgi target, and he said it many
