It is not a good idea to have pointers in the glyph structure.  (Yes,
xwidget uses that, but don't take example from that, please.)  A glyph
should be self-describing from the metrics POV.  If you need
additional information (beyond the basic metrics), use the example of
images and faces: we cache the objects and record their cache ID in
the glyph.

My suggestion is not to "draw separately from redisplay".  I don't see
how this could work, unless you also modify extensively how the second
phase of redisplay, the one entered via update_frame and
update_window, works.
