Hi,
When I move or resize widgets from GTK+ toolkit, even on GTK based dektops, screen update is quite delayed (background is filled with a greyish color, and content of the window is drawn a while later) compared to qt widgets and Windows(TM). I checked the examples in GTK+ tutorial both on Linux and Windows, and I concluded that this shouldn't have anything to do with Linux, as Windows version is even more annoying. This also doen't happen when I checked in IceWM, as far as Desktop effects are concerned, but when two GTK widgets overlap, this happens again. It's definitely a GTK thing. Not that painting is slow, but it's rather very delayed!
Question: How can I correct this and get smooth screen painting (as in MacOSX and Windows) in GTk (its API is really cool, and used so widely)? Or is it possible with GTK?
I need some programming tips, not flames, bashing or flames please.
Thanks for any tip.
