See:    http://perlmonks.org?node_id=583578  

My code there has been critisized a bit, by too many calls
to get colors from a colormap, ( I didn't quite understand it
then and just did what the demo did :-) ).
Any color code improvements would be appreciated.

But the code should give you the idea of what is going on.
Basically, you create a background pixmap, and write to the pixmap's
drawable, then every expose event, reload the pixmap.
