long standing annoyance:

if you resize an xmon by dragging the window edge (yes, this was bad for
some reason, use GRASS_WIDTH,...) and you change it by more than 2
pixels, it redraws everything in the monitor twice. ie in the fraction
of a second it was changed by 1 pixel it started to redraw, then waits
until it finishes rendering all layers before figuring out the window
size has changed again and it needs to rescale and start again. This
ends up taking a long time if you have a big complicated display.

Is there a way for it to check if the window size (ie scaling value) has
changed between mapping commands, or perhaps after rendering each 100
rows of a raster map or (100) features in a vector map?
