Aha! Now it makes sense to me (it's been a long
time since I used X Window).
I wonder whether it might make sense for the doc
to say something about this?
Maybe more importantly I wonder whether it might
make sense to add a user option that has the
effect of turning on/off double-buffering for
all frames.
If that were done, there'd be two possibilities
for how to handle the combination of that option
with the frame parameter:
1. The option value always overrides the frame
parameter.
2. The frame parameter always overrides the option.
Maybe #2 makes more sense. Alternatively, the
option could have more values than just on/off:
. ON, and option overrides frame parameter
. OFF, and option overrides frame parameter
. ON, and frame parameter overrides option
. OFF, and frame parameter overrides option
Do you think it would be good to add an option?
If so, maybe its default value should depend
on the `system-type'? E.g., for `windows-nt'
it could default to ON, with option overriding
frame parameter, and for other `system-type's
it could default to ON, with frame parameter
overriding option.
I know you think that even for most MS Windows
users the default value should be ON. The
point of having an option would be to simplify
turning the behavior on/off. If the use case
for using the frame parameter is limited to
what you described, then maybe most users
(even on UNIX-like platforms) would appreciate
a simple option.
Anyway, this is OT for this bug, which can be
closed, IMO.
