OK, I'm trying today that change. Anyway, I've found some things using
your ideas:

I've been tracing the behaviour of the little example I've written both in
X11 environment and the PDA. The key of the question is clipping (as you
wisely said :-o ), when the Desktop window gets the WM_PAINT event, the
GdFillRect calls GdClipArea and it returns CLIP_VISIBLE in the PDA
version, therefore in X11 version, it reaches the drawrow section of
GdClipRect (this is the right way) . I've been trying to understand all
the clipping related code, but I've got blind about it. Have you any idea?

The other missfunction is that when a window is dragged around the screen,
the shapes that are drawn  around the screen aren't cleared. I'll try to
explain: in X11 version, only one shape at a time is present; in the PDA
version, there are a lot of shapes of the screen at a time, and they are
only cleared when the pen is released, and everything is cleared because
of the last paragraph stuff.

One more time, thanks a lot.

Best regards.
