"draw" is useless on drawing areas (and basically useless for
everything else - it's been removed from GTK 1.3.x). 

So just use expose. If you need to do init stuff that depends on
having a GdkWindow, just connect_after() to realize or map and do it
there. But you can't draw until you get to expose.
