   I think you can also turn on backing store for the server, but that may not
   actually solve the original posters problem.

I'm not familiar with overlay planes, so I snipped that part -- but
turning on backing store is a hint to the server, which the server
need not honor.  The application still has to be prepared to handle
expose events; the easiest way is with a backing pixmap.
