i added an attribute to FbWindow to mark windows which are only used as

"carrier" (maybe a temporarly name?) ... carriers dont need background-updates
.. ever.

this leads to a big performance"boost" over the last commits. before we
updated also the windows which are the hosts for the apps (m_window and
        m_clientarea in FbWinFrame) -> bad idea.
