	I guess it is less efficient. It need some hardisk access
etc, which can be avoided if we can directly render it. Creating
and loading a new PNG image for each operation (say paning, or
displaying a new layer etc) will impact perfomance.. Correct
me if I am wrong

Thanks! it is enough, I dont plan to use my application is windows. 
But will it render on my canvas, or in the entire window?
The driver knows only XID of my window, how can it render
on my canvas, which is one amoung several widgets in my window?
My window has menus, toobar etc and a canvas widget on which
I want to render the GRASS display...
(Sorry that I am not familiar with XID etc..., I have started
learning them.....)

Waiting for your comments....
