DirectFB allows to set [1] the way the desktop window buffering
mechanism works by disabling the backend buffer.
The result, in my experiments, was saving some some hundreds KB of
memory with no noticeable drawbacks.
I propose to apply the attached one-line patch and look for possible
artifact which may appear on the display, and in the case reverse the patch.
regards
Attilio
