redrawing the background should be done in a separate thread

Description
when using transparent background, redrawing the background is slow. by slow i mean on my computer ( 1ghz athlon, 400mb ram, nvidia geforce4, nvidia binary drivers ) it takes around 2seconds to redraw when i move the window around. and it's very inconvenient to have to wait for that time.
in konsole ( the kde terminal app ), i can immediately type in the terminal. the background is actualized after 1-2seconds.
so konsole isn't faster, but it feels faster because the user can immediately work with the konsole after moving/resizing the window. in gnome-terminal i have to wait until it refreshes.
