i have seen that behaviour as well. the only solution i could come up
with was not to move the gemwin with the cursor. also resizing a gemwin
with rendering turned on doesn't work for me (the window becomes
resized, but only the old area of the window is redrawn). the only
solution i could come up is to set all window properties through
messages to gemwin.
