popping a window up

Hello,

here is a relatively minor problem we're experiencing on IRIX and Linux
(can't say about the other platforms and this is the reason I'm sending
this to <roottalk>). Suppose I have an X-window with ROOT canvas partially
hidden behind the other windows on the screen.
When I'm popping this window up, ROOT doesn't redraw the canvas, so the
hidden part of the canvas comes up empty and I have to update the canvas
myself. At the same time the part of the window handled by WM (the part
with menues) gets updated properly. I'd guess that X-event which signals
about the window being popped up just doesn't tell ROOT to update the
corresponding canvas.

Is this problem specific for IRIX6/Linux? Is it possible to force
canvas update when window is being popped up?

thanks a lot, pasha.
