Shell commands do affect the region, which affects the window if it is
redrawn. Currently there are two redraw buttons. The one on the left draws
changes in layers. The one on the redraws everything and will draw correctly
if the region has been changed.
I imagine that if I change the region and change a layer and use the left
redraw button I'll get two layers rendered at different regions which is a
bug. I just tried this and indeed it is so.
The correct thing for us to do is have one redraw button and a belief state
about the region. If the region is not in our belief state we should assert
that the layers are dirty and must be redrawn.
