   B_ENTERED_VIEW also is not guaranteed to work if implemented on
client side. (The mouse made a trip outside our window and back again
exactly on fLastMouseMovedView).
   I have tried to move this client side. When I wrote BWindow I tried
to do that there. Haven't succeeded.
   This functionality is something which I think you cannot move to
client side. But, then again, maybe you guys are smarter. ;-)

   Drawing! is one thing I think should be made client side. :-) Some
part of clipping also.
