Ok, last proposal: just call ::display again, so the stage is rendered again
on expose events. The only possible downside I can think of is expose events
showing some intermediate states otherwise not visible with normal playback
(consider an sub-FPS interval transforming characters), which doesn't seem
a big problem to me.
