Yes, I guess that's what I mean. On 21.5, it is very visible, and very
annoying - even on a tty frame, even on a very fast machine. On 21.4,
it's not visible at all on any machine I use, as far as I can see, so
I don't know whether it even happens.
I suppose I could put them under xscope to see what's actually
happening to the window!
