Situation here might be we are exposing a small 100x100 region
in the middle of a 10,000x10,000 pixel window. The backing
pixmap is created 100x100 pixels instead of 10,000x10,000
pixels for obvious performance reasons. 

Creating another intermediate pixmap at 5100x5100 pixels 
probably isn't the best solution here ...:-)
