now that we're on GtkDrawingArea... =)

[David Eduardo Gomez Noguera <davidgn servidor unam mx>]

I was doing some tests on it.

I have my DrawingArea on a ViewPort on a ScrolledWindow on a pane on a notebook on a table..... like the song...

I couldnt use any function that gets a GdkWindow as a parameter. As in the scribble example, the Area is just under the Window, and it works. But i had the DrawingArea somewhere else, and area->window sent messages like:

Gdk-CRITICAL **: file gdkdraw.c: line 42 (gdk_draw_point): assertion `drawable != NULL' failed.

As i read, some widgets does not have its own window (but the example worked using the Area's window, widget-window), and they draw on its parent window.
I thought maybe DrawingArea is one such widget (though doesnt sound like it), and since the example works, i used the main window's window as the parameter to gdk_pixmap_new and other functions. It works.

Though i want to know whether i did right, or if i did a stupid thing and what would have been the right one?
