Is there a way to  XGetImage from an  unmapped window?  The  man  page
states "If the drawable is a window, the window must be mapped, ...."

My motivation  is this: create an unmapped  window, render stuff  into
it, store that image, delete the window, and flash the image back some
time later through the use of XPutImage.

thanks, sm.


p.s. anybody have the offical fixes for the c++ include files?
