Yes I know, but that it easy to handle: You just use your expose handler(s) to
add an idle handler which actually does the drawing. Proof of concept here (for
GdkGC based drawing):

Composite desktops are not the default yet and considering all the driver
problems we have on X11 I doubt they will become the default quickly. So 
IncludeInferiors drawing is very usefull still.
