My technique for opening panes is, on getting the redraw request: 1. <behind>= "handle of window to open behind" field from open request 2. Calculate position of Pane 1 (don't corrupt data for main window) 3. Open Pane 1 behind <behind> 4. <behind> = Pane 1 handle 5. Repeat steps 2-4 for subsequent panes 6. Open main window behind <behind> Oh yes - ignore "Open Window Requests" for panes. This seems to work without any flickering, although "solid drags" of a window+pane combination are never quite as smooth as a single window.
