I guess you would have to ave the conent of a page when switching pages
and use that as the representation, so that only the current page is more
"live"
And the current page would be updated with some interval, but the question
is. But doing screenshots using imort is quite time consuming, so maybe
another aproach is needed, like only updateing some of the windows each
time...
