I have ported my 3d client to SDL 1.1 pretty fast and I like the

I am working with “dirty”-flags to minimize the parts that needs

Keep up the great work!

Yes, at some point.

What problems do you have when the user moves the window?
The user is not able to resize the window at the moment.
Keep up the great work!

What problems do you have when the user moves the window?
Whenever the window is moved, the content is moved too, but not the
right amount of pixels. The solution is to draw the whole client area
after moving the window (as opposed to the “dirty”-part approach I am
using right now), but I found no way to get an event that informs me
about a window movement.
It would be nice if there was a general event that is fired whenever the
client area of the window needs a full redraw (size, movement, z-order,
show/hide, etc.). Or is there a another solution?

The SDL windows message loop is supposed to handle necessary redraw.
If it doesn’t, there is a bug.
Take a look at src/main/win32/SDL_main.c where it sets the style of the
client, and src/video/wincommon/SDL_sysevents.c where it handles windows
messages.

I may not always have time to answer, but I try.
