Yes I know, older toolkits used to solve it this way.
However most modern toolkits resize the content as soon as the slider
is moved and are able to cope with it better than GTK (at least on my
machine), e.g. moving the panes of k3b (a KDE based cdrecord frontend,
qt: skinned, gtk: default theme) is smooth whereas gftp's panes always
give an impression of beeing behind the cursor and showing visual
ugliness.
However this could also be caused by the nvidia driver, I don't know :-/

Maybe I can create a small video of both programs and upload it somewhere....
