from applet-widget.h:

/* sets if the do_draw signal is sent*/
void            applet_widget_send_draw         (AppletWidget *applet,
                                                 gboolean enable);

/* gets the rgb background, useful in conjunction with the do_draw
signal */
void            applet_widget_get_rgb_bg        (AppletWidget *applet,
                                                 guchar **rgb,
                                                 int *w, int *h,
                                                 int *rowstride);

there is a divider applet which uses this written by the author of
gqview and i believe it is on his web page.
