Excessive events

[Larry Dennison <larry avici com>]

Hello,

I did notice something the other night.  I was working on Dia remotely - 
xterm'd at home via a VPN connection to work.  When I fired up Dia, I get a 
lot of network traffic on the VPN monitor, even though I'm not doing 
anything in Dia.  Response was very sluggish.

I had seen this before when working on another GTK application.  I had been 
writing directing to a window, instead of using a backing store.  GTK 
seemed to be stuck in this cycle of "you drew to it, now you need to draw 
it again".  When I used a backing store, the problem went away.

Anyone else seeing this?

Thanks,

Larry
