Hm, if the gutter is a window and you unmap the gutter, some

there are going to be many objects that aren't subobjects of the
gutter that will pass that test).
Then you do all the work on subobjects of the gutter which can
generate no more expose events, map the gutter, and Hey Presto!
Theoretically, anyway.... IANAXP
Err - which is what the code does already, and why you normally don't get
flashing :). First time I fired up the tabs under X I nearly had a fit it
flashed so much....
