[comp.windows.x] Retained graphics in VPort widget.

Using Xlib graphics calls, I am trying to draw stuff on the VPort
widget. I have no problem in drawing. However, when I scroll the
graphics outside the boundary of the viewport and scroll it back
inside, all the graphics is erased. Similarly, when I hide the
viewport under another window (or a menu) and pop it back up again,
the graphics (which was hidden by the other window) goes away.  

In other words, the VPort doesn't retain the graphics information and
so it does not refresh it, when needed. 

What should I do to retain the graphics?
