as you state correctly, the name [gembuffer] would be coherent with the name [gemwindow], so the functionality should be coherent too. (imo, the same goes for [gemframebuffer] and [gemoffscreen].) i foresee nameclashes with the multiple_windows (whenever they will come...)
...also, on my harddrive I put it in src/controls (it would be inserted into a gemchain after [gemhead]), but I guess it could also go in src/manips, or even src/Nongeos?
could it be an option to make an alternative(!) [gemhead] out of this object?. so people could decide whether an entire gemchain is onscreen ([gemhead]) or offscreen ([???]). if so, i would vote for something really clumsy like [gemhead_os] ("clumsy" since i cannot think of a better name, not because the object _should_ be named clumsy of course)
How about putting that functionality into gemhead:
[gemhead 1] (render pri 1, onscreen) [gemhead 1 mybuffer] (pri 1, render to buffer named mybuffer)
Could be easy to test debugging by removing the one argument (or setting the message)
Actually this (ui wise) would work for multiple windows too,
[gemhead 1 mywindow] Then its transparent to the user if its a named window [gemwin 30 mywindow] or a named buffer....
And argument and a inlet, maybe for the buffer name?

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession of everyone, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it." - Thomas Jefferson
