Hello,

Yes, it's true that these repaints could be optimised but repaints have
already been minimised and having this feature could introduce new bugs,
a more complex code (harder to maintain) and most of the time, the dock
has to be resized (when adding/removing icons, moving the mouse inside
the dock, producing effects over more than one icon, etc.) and all the
window has to be repainted. Note that it shouldn't take too much
resources, specially when using hardware acceleration.

But if you (or someone else) have an idea to improve the situation
without introducing side effects, feel free to propose it here :-)
