Hmmm, I suppose I ought to look at what libvte does, since it also
allows background pixmaps.

My workaround of simply never using XClearArea works reasonably well,
but there's occasionally a bit of flickering for large area scrolls
(though I do set the gtk bg color to something `compatible' with the
pixmap to reduce it as much as possible).
