You need to set the "BackingStore" resource on the Applix widgets to
"Always".  You can do this by appending "*BackingStore: Always" to the
Class name(s) of the Applix widgets -- see Applixware's app-default
file(s) [if any].  You can also just set "*BackingStore: Always" (no
class name), but this might slow other applications down (ie: ones
for which it really isn't useful).  It is also possible that Applix
hard-coded the value of "BackingStore", in which case you are out of
luck unless Applix makes and provides you with new binaries.  Since
setting "NotUseful" on large, mostly static windows would seem not
very wise, hopefully they did not.  Good luck.

P.S.  "BackingStore" may accept other values, "Always" was the only other
option I found in a quick `grep` thru some app-defaults.
