Bonjour,

Je suis en train de faire le menage dans le bts du package debian ocaml,
et je suis tomber sur ces deux bugreports, que je pensais avoir fait
suivre upstram precedement, mais que je ne retrouve pas dans le BTS
ocaml. Voila qui est fait donc.

Amicalement,

Sven Luther

There seems to be no way to change the foreground and background
colors in module Graphics. The problem is that X uses the background
color to fill in missing peaces when resizeing or when uncovering
regions before seding an expose event. If the background is white and
the actual graphic displayed is black that is very anoying to the eye.

Setting the background color to something roughly reflecting the
average color displayed greatly reduces flickering.
