screen refresh

[MisterX]

Klaus, 

I always forget that one - but since it's on by default...

Rick,

did you try

  lock screen
  moveimages

sometimes, locking messages can also help but the screen lock is great...
but not always recommended in custom geometry scripting depending on what is
in the front/back scripts.

cheers
Xav
