To elaborate on this some more...

Consider virtualisation/emulation programs like VirtualBox, Bochs, VMware etc.,
which completely emulate the hardware of a PC. The program does not know
anything about the guest OS/windowing system. Therefore, it must handle
remembering and restoring covered & revealed parts of the display window.

If X doesn't already support doing that automatically (when requested by the X
client), it's safe to say there's no chance of X supporting it -- and the
support fitering downstream to OS distributions -- in the forseeable future.

A demo version of Age of Mythology is available from

(Warning: 337MB file!)

Hopefully installing that when in virtual desktop mode will demonstrate the
problem I'm referring to.
