// This class is basically a huge shared memory pixmap meant to be used in double-buffer
// painting operations. The memory buffer is resized on the fly so you will always obtain
// a pixmap that is at least of the specified size. The problem is that this is a time
// consuming operation (not good in a paint event). We solve it by keeping the buffer
// with the greatest requested size in the last N minutes.
//
// The keyword in all this thingie is "memory is cheap, processing time is not".
// We know in advance that KVIrc needs a huge double buffer anyway...
// So we basically grow instantly but we are really lazy at shrinking.
