It's a question of the timing of Tk_DoOneEvent, the routine that ends
up sending idle events to the widgets for redisplay.  Usually,
this routine is called from doTkEvents (from a Swarm schedule in
the application itself), but it can also be called from other places,
such as the probe display manager, when it asks for an update.

If for debugging reasons or whatever you want things synchronized,
you can call doTkEvents to do that.

I'm not aware of any.  What did you have in mind?
