Re: GDK bug

I have tried to connect the "expose-event" signal of my window to the
callback in charge of the resizing and it seems the signal isn't
emitted until the window is obscured and "unobscured" by another one.

Using "configure-event", it works perfectly. This is logical, since
the configure-event is emitted when the window is configured by the
window manager (isn't it?) and expose-event is emitted when an aera of
the widget has to be repainted after being covered by another window.

But is it really useful to have a signal for it ?
