Rootless windows are automatically refreshed if you provide
a Xwindows "backing store":
Solution 1: let IDL provide the backing store by typing:
device,retain=2
See the IDL manual for details.
I have put the above line in my $IDL_STARTUP file (see manual).
Solution 2: let MacX 1.2 provide the backing store. Select this in the
MacX Display Preferences (Edit menu).

Good luck,
Fred.
