Argh. XFCE4 also does not allow to draw on the root
window, that's why my initial tests were not working.
When I run your code and saw nothing there, I closed
XFCE and started Fluxbox and all worked fine.
The root window is owned by xfdesktop. Seems that I'll
need to find another way to do that. :-)

Thanks again for that tip!
