Those functions will need to keep track of the changes, or record the
previous state attributes somewhere, to do their job, right?  Are you
saying that these are already recorded/tracked?  If not, they will
need to be added, which was the point I was making.

Even the "once" part might be problematic, because redisplay_internal
sometimes re-runs its code more than once, as you know.  The "really
changed since last redisplay" is even trickier, because a given
redisplay cycle doesn't always finish all of its job, it can stop in
the middle and return after doing only part of what needs to be done,
in which case some of the windows are not updated, and we will have
lost our point of reference.
