These changes do not involve reinstantiation of images.
But if you are wrong but mostly right, these problems are going to be
devilishly hard to debug, aren't they? Especially in a year when
somebody decides to implement an oscilloscope in Lisp in the gutter
and we've all pretty much forgotten this discussion.... I think you
are violating the First Golden Law of Redisplay here.
My understanding is that this has happened many times in the past, and
currently happens. I do not believe I am doing anything "new" in this respect.
