You can query the visible region, so with well-chosen dimensions and
clip region it shouldn't be too hard to write test cases. Make sure you
test both GetDCEx with an explicit clip region and BeginPaint, the
behavior is probably different

The way we hack around the asynchronous events is by checking for expose
events in UpdateWindow, but of course if the app doesn't even use that
it won't help. And on a slow connection the expose events will always
arrive too late anyway. We'd need to explicitly wait for the event, but
that would hurt badly on slow connections.
