I don't use a window manager that shows context while resizing, so I haven't 
given this any thought.  Emacs does seem to do a lot of clear area, that might 
be a bug.  Since XDrawImageString is used anyway, some clear area calls could 
possibly be removed.  However, I don't see this as such a big problem that 
requires such a big change as your apporach is.

And besides, when Emacs starts to use anti-aliased fonts, we can't use 
XDrawImage string anyway, so those clear areas might come back.
