cabbage is "flashy"

Dear Bug Team! i know that i moaned about that already, and that i'm the only one to report this prob, but xemacs repaints the screen too often, especially when i use VM (probably it has something to do with managing multiple windows), and it's the same story when xemacs is an X11 client and when it's run in console i'm sorry that i cannot be more quantitative in my report ciao ================================================================ System Info to help track down your bug: --------------------------------------- uname -a: Linux boffi95 2.2.21 #1 Wed Jul 17 12:52:48 CEST 2002 i586 unknown unknown GNU/Linux ./configure '--extra-verbose' '--rel-alloc' '--with-widgets' '--with-athena=3d' '--debug' '--pdump' '--with-wmcommand' '--with-sound=no' '--error-checking=all' XEmacs 21.5-b11 "cabbage" (+CVS-20030219) configured for `i586-pc-linux'.
