I should point out that one of the HUGE advantages
of a Pixmap object is that if need be (and, believe
me, when you are doing pixmap smoke and mirror tricks
there is OFTEN need!) you can actually *see* the pixmap
window, so you can figure out what the heck is going on!

Simply set the visible property to see it:

pixmap -> SetProperty, Visible=1

And turn it off, when you don't want to see it:

pixmap -> SetProperty, Visible=0

Cheers,

David
