That's pretty much what we were going to do next, except we'll keep
the "real" backbuffer in "raw" system memory (not dd surface) to 
avoid any additional driver issues. Most of our blits are either 
alpha-blended or paletted, so having to blit everything ourselves is
not an issue as we do it anyway.
