For those willing to submit patches (hint hint!), it would be nice to have
logic operators in drawing mode. For instance, if you drew the string with
colour n in XOR mode, then you almost-always see it regardless of the
background colour.
Same for drawing lines and filling.
The nice extra is that when you paint it again exactly in the same place, then
what was drawn in the first instance gets erased and the background restored.
