Sigh, I'd rather do something easy, and continue with what I wanted to
try out in the branch here.  It has only gpt one commit so far, in 3 or
4 days.

Yes, that's why I asked if we get by with something like this:

diff --git a/src/xdisp.c b/src/xdisp.c
index 9534e27843..fd94509fe4 100644
--- a/src/xdisp.c

BTW, I've commented out the call to redisplay in nsterm.m
layoutSomething now in my branch.  Let's see what the effect is.  So far
I don't notice anything.
