I just realised that this isn’t actually hard to get right.

Patch attached. I think this is a better solution than the last one.

Disabling screen updates just stops them being flushed to the screen,
when they’re enabled all the updates happen at once (including the
window manager’s frame resize). I guess it’s like drawing to an
off‐screen buffer then swapping.
