The 2 lines below Stephan's ones do the right thing. They send a
message to RootLayer's thread telling it what to invalidate.
Now that I look better, it looks that Stephan did not proceeded badly.
The first time when I read those lines I was under impression I saw
RebuildFullRegionS() which was very bad, but NOW I see the 's' is
absent, and that's a very good thing! :-)
No, the change is fine for the present clipping code. In fact I would
congratulate Stephan for pulling this off - it shows he understood the
clipping code. :-)

True. There some small things left to be done. I know them, but if you
can tell me the situations in which these problems occur it would be of
help too.

Sure. It's next on my list.
