Some people prefer the X11 version as the refresh speed may be higher.  =
That=E2=80=99s
fine, though I prefer having rio resize working so I can full screen the =
app
on a second display with CONF=3Dosx-cocoa.

I reduced the flicker in the drawterm-cocoa osx-cocoa version a while =
back.
The flicker and window edges not meeting during a move is still there =
and
more prevalent on slow connections or a slow cpu.

There are a slew of X11 related changes to support rio resize that =
I=E2=80=99ve
been meaning to push out at some point.  Since migrating to OSX 10.10
the X11.app is mostly broken, and no longer supported/released by Apple,
so my motivation to finish the changes has dwindled significantly.  In =
fact,
the latest X11 update doesn=E2=80=99t extract and install cleanly on OS =
X 10.10, so
updates might take a while.
