I see 'properly written' and 'should'...
well in real life problems do happen. I you run into problems, run
the latencytest from ALSA to figure out where the problem is on your
system.
On my recording system the kernel DRM driver was causing terrible latency,
but an ugly kernel patch put an end to that.
I guess if I was a graphics programmer I would think GUI stuff has the
highest priority.
The short story: if you want to solve the problem you have to dig for the
root cause.

On a

the
RT stuff anyway.
yep, i can cause dropouts just as easy with fluxbox as kwin, so i use
kwin, since easy right-click options to disable borders or enable
default geometry is preferable to editing random dubiously formatted
textfiles strewn across /etc/ and ~/.de/blah
