I am using the MAP keyword when there are a finite number of layout
possibilities. Unfortunately this is not always the case (e.g.
undefined number of buttons under a nonexclusive base).

Is there some X Windows thing I can change to improve rendering speed?
And while we're at it: why do IDL widgets look so damn ugly under
linux? Is IDL using a specific window manager or is it an X-client on
its own (don't know much about these things)?
