That's bizarre. It suggests that we're not caching pixmap IDs. Once the toolbar is drawn _once_, it should get redrawn as fast as the X server can put bits on the screen. Ray> The actual *scratch* window gets drawn pretty fast. Yep. Ray> But sometimes when I do file-name completion, the toolbar is Ray> redrawn. And since it's 1 sec/icon, that's annoying. And bizarre; evidently something is deciding that the whole frame is dirty.
