I have zero knowledge about the GTK code within Emacs but this problem
is related to refreshing the buffer which is not a GTK widget, is it?

I also tried something which is even worse:
When I split the main window (C-x 2) and move the modeline of
the top buffer, everything is flickering: both scrollbars and buffers.
It is pretty ugly.
