Note that GTK also works this way; implement your drawing in the
draw/expose methods of the widget, then call gtk_widget_queue_draw()
instead of actually drawing, and things just work.

GTK flickers more of course. I believe Tk has a no-subwindows
architecture that makes flicker a bit easier to deal with and is the
long-term GTK plan as well.
