with  buffered_drawing=2 dillo uses the Fl_Double_Window class from
FLTK, so the result should be similar to e.g. the test/fonts program
from FLTK. Do you have it available and can test how that program
feels when resizing on your system?
In my setup I only get some light flickering at the scroll bars with
buffered_drawing=2. Whereas I see heavy flickering with
buffered_drawing=0.
Do you see any difference between buffered_drawing=0 and
buffered_drawing=2?

Cheers,
Johannes
