That's exactly what is happening (I'm not concerned about the other AESes, by 
the way). That's why I think a new wind_set() option to ask the AES to always 
send redraw messages (even if the AES does the redrawing itself) might help 
remove this hurdle.

That's exactly it.

It's OK. I can live with a userdef. I was curious to know if there was a new  
XaAES feature (they aren't particularly well documented...).
