If I assign the whole screen I have the problem that when a button is added
to the renderer a portion of the screen at position 0,0 is cleared?
Even when the button is set to a different position before it is added,

It's perhaps a due to the way the screen is handled in the rest of my
program but that was my reason to try to use a different surface to
separate the mainscreen and the ocempgui screen.

I assume you have your code in SVN/CVS? If so I will just checkout your
changes, no need to send me patches.
Besides we all have day jobs, I hope, so one or two weeks is as soon
as one could expect it :-)

Thanks. I will try your suggestions.
