Really? If you do a 'grep -R dirty *' on the source you see that is
isn't actually unsed anywhere. But, then, I did not have time to
read carefully the source of KisDoc and KisView.

But on the other hand, invalidate is set correctly by
kpainter. Patrick yesterday said:

But maybe this is not true and validate/invalidate is used for actual
rendering and dirty for swapping the tiles/memory management?

Take care,
Michael
