Actually not, since there is a desktop composition phase that is [...] It's not like DirectX viewports in Vista will be rendering directly to the desktop either, if only for buffer and asynchronicity requirements, they'll have to render to off-screen textures, which the Desktop composer will then use.

I suspect that an application disabled desktop composition, and when it was closed, Vista did not restore Aero. I am assuming this to be the case, as when I look at my event viewer upon bootup, it get an event id 9011 error stating that desktop composition cant start because a "mirroring driver" is in use.

An Update-Layered-Window window is never supposed to paint via WM_PAINT, and, the concept of a redirection bitmap is not affected by redirection and desktop composition being on or off.

That is why Apple uses Quartz Extreme, Stardock uses Hyperpaint, and Windows Longhorn will use The Desktop Composition Engine.

Perhaps you can answer a couple quick questions: As you say, I can disable the flashing by unchecking "Enable desktop composition", right? Is there any way I can set that in a Manifest file? Is there any way a Setup program can make such settings? (I probably need to ask my setup program supplier, Setup Factory.

Mirror Drivers are non compatible with desktop-composition, so, loading any one of them will cause desktop-composition to be turned-off. The WDDM video-stack is not designed to be filtered or T-ed.
