I don't understand what you mean by changing the display panels. What
exactly are you trying to achieve? Preventing your remote request from being
issued except for the last one, or something else?

qooxdoo is doing exactly what it's supposed to do for the vast majority of
applications: updating the page with the most recent stuff when the
application becomes idle. I think, in your case, you're trying to do
something different. Normally, if you scroll through a table quickly, you
don't want the browser to spend the time updating each and every row;
rather, you want it to just render the visible rows once you stop pressing
the arrow keys. Other than your remote request, is there something else
happening that follows a different paradigm?
