Robert,
It works for me..If I understand the problem correctly - i.e., while
overlaying or minimizing or maximizing the window, the contours don't
disappear :P I was going to attach 2 screenshots for your viewing
pleasure (one of them advertises David's ebook - which I bought
recently- too ;-) ), but I guess I can't abuse usenet :)

I usually do this backing store thingy within my xconfig. Within the /
etc/X11/xorg.conf (Section "Device"), I add the following above the
'EndSection' instead of .idlrc...
----------------------------------------------
Option "BACKING STORE" "TRUE"
----------------------------------------------
Hth,
