[Bug 1500529] Re: Cairo-Dock damages/repaints all of the dock windows if just one pixel in an applet changes

 

matttbe, thanks for your comment.

I have not yet read much of cairo-dock's code, but when doing damaging
code work I found Compiz' Show Repaint plugin to be very useful as it
allows one to exactly visually observe what the damaging code is doing
and which repaints are exactly happening.

Currently my time is very limited, but I might look into it in the
future (after I've got a build-and-run-cairo-dock-from-source procedure
set up).
