Graphics performance under wxGTK

[Yuri Borsky]

Hi Olivier!

Just stumbled over this issue too. My draw is all OpenGL though, but the
issue is still the same:
using continuous timer blocks my app. I managed to get app responsive back
by adding these two lines:

while( theApp->Pending() )
    theApp->Dispatch();

at the end of drawing function, and making sure it does not gets called
recursively.
I still think that there should be a better way. theApp is of course my
wxApp.

Best regards
    Yuri
