well, obviously X needs a kick in the ass here. gdk_flush() calls
XSync() (that's all it does). The XSync function flushes the output 
buffer and then waits until all requests have been received and 
processed by the X server. I'm not really sure why this is necessary
here. I tried this with GTK+ on DirectFB and the code Brad posted 
did work perfectly without the call to gdk_flush().


Salut, Sven
