    If I'm not stupid (and I really think that I'm not stupid :) when a GTK
application
    enters in a blocking loop (just as windows programs when they stop
responding)
    it cannot redraw the content of the window. Of course, you can move the
window,
    but this is not GTK+ related (the WM and X lets you resize or move the
window,
    but the window content is still not updated).

    Not at all. Windows draws fast on an old cirrus logic too :)
    The smoothness is thanks to the way the toolkit is designed. That's why
    using double buffering will help a lot.
