"yes" - it's odd that delwin doesn't repaint the other windows, and if
you're not using panels, they don't get repainted.

I once used a version of curses (on VMS) which repainted after a delwin.
My impression was that it was based on a BSD flavor.  The AT&T / SVr4
flavor didn't do that.

(changing it would break some programs, I guess)
