My question is on drawing on pixmaps.
I am drawing directly on the window, but most code I have seen, such as dmenu(1) and thingmenu(1), all created a pixmap with XCreatePixmap(3), drawn on the pixmap, and then copied the area on the pixmap over the window with XCopyArea(3). Is there any difference from drawing directly on a window than drawing on a pixmap and then copy it to a window?
What are Xlib pixmaps used for if I can draw directly on windows?

Anyways, I have to do some adjustments on my xmenu(1), such as using XFT fonts, use a beter colorscheme, adjust that ugly triangles, add more options, add keyboard handling, reading colors from Xresources, etc.

Did you test it? What did you think about it? I will test your xmenu. Yours receive the options from arguments instead of from stdin, just like thingmenu(1), right?

My next projects will be to create a bar, and them a simple WM.

(PS: I didn't know you also had a menu called xmenu, sorry for copying you...)
