Re: dev: question about glist_isvisible() and gobj_shouldvis()

It's my belief that gobj_shouldvis() is true if the object should be 
visible on the screen,
and that glist_isvisible() is on if the glist has actually been drawn 
(which is not yet true
while the glist is first being drawn). So I think you should check 
gobj_shouldvis() and
not glist_isvisible().
