The "right" way to do this is to use the panel library.  That isn't always
what you may prefer to do.  It's possible to touch a window and refresh 
it, to achieve the same visual effect (but panel is designed to do this
efficiently).

If you simply update parts of each window, those are the parts that will
be repainted.  From your description, that sounds like what I would 
expect.
