(I'm not knocking the code, it was a great help to us, thanks Adam.) We've made lots of changes at MIT to make it work, plus we've fixed some bugs in a few clients relating to this (like xterm, which failed to worry about clearing it's inner border). Strictly speaking, the latter is not really due to backing-store being turned on, but by gravity starting to be obeyed. However, it just isn't reasonable for us to get this stuff out until the next release.
