   It's not recenter per se, but redisplaying the screen. Unfortunately,
   flash-screen simple calculates a bit mask based on the current
   foreground / background colors, and xors that with the contents of the
   screen twice. It doesn't actually redisplay anything. If you change
   colors and move the cursor, you'll notice the characters you go over
   change.

OK.  Then is there a way to redisplay a screen without sideeffecting it
(moving the windows, selecting it, etc.)?
