Actual page flipping applies only to full screen applications. The page flip is
done by the display engine, you flip what is being displayed on screen, the
whole scanout buffer, look it up (multi buffering).

You cannot "flip" single drawables (individual pixels of a buffer) to
(individual pixels of) the front buffer, that doesn't work (with existing
hardware).
