)You have to call RemakeDisplay() I think .. that should make 100% sure
)that the screen reflects ONLY what should be there.

Yow, is that ever wrong.  yeeussh.
Intuition V1.3 and earlier has no support for erasing gadgets, so you
just have to do it yourself.  For most situations, I think something
like this will work:

SetAPen( window->RPort, 0 );
RectFill( window->RPort, g->LeftEdge, g->TopEdge,
	g->LeftEdge + g->Width - 1, g->TopEdge + g->Height - 1 );

If the gadget is GRELBOTTOM or something like that, you have to
do more work.  Likewise if it's in a requester or gimmezerozero border.

PS: RemakeDisplay() recalculates all intermediate and hardware copper list
for the viewports of Intuition's screens.  It has no effect whatsoever
on the contents any bitmap, just the display instructions to get those
bitmaps displayed.

... which software is undoubtedly wonderful but probably doesn't
use RemakeDisplay() ;^)
