window and watch redraws as they occur. This allows you to diagnose
inefficiencies in your application.In essence, because the
<tt class="literal">GDK</tt> rendering model prevents all flicker, if you are
redrawing the same region 400 times you may never notice, aside from
noticing a speed problem. Enabling update debugging causes
<tt class="literal">PyGTK</tt> to flicker slowly and noticeably, so you can see
exactly what's being redrawn when, in what order.</p><p>The <tt class="option">--gtk-debug=updates</tt> command line option
passed to <tt class="literal">PyGTK</tt> programs enables this debug option at
application startup time. That's usually more useful than calling

want to use this function to enable updates sometime after application
startup time.</p></div><div class="refsect2" lang="en"><a name="function-gdk--window-at-pointer"></a><h3>gtk.gdk.window_at_pointer</h3><table border="0" bgcolor="#E0E0E0" width="100%"><tr><td><pre class="programlisting"><code class="methodsynopsis">    def <span class="methodname">gtk.gdk.window_at_pointer</span>()</code></pre></td></tr></table><table border="0" width="100%" bgcolor="#FFECCE"><col align="left" valign="top" width="0*"><tbody><tr><td><span class="term"><span class="emphasis"><em>Returns</em></span>:</span></td><td>a 3 tuple containing the <a href="class-gdkwindow.html" title="gtk.gdk.Window"><tt class="classname">gtk.gdk.Window</tt></a>
