"realize" means to create the window system resources associated with
the widget. You do not normally need to realize things explicitly,
since it happens implicitly when you show a toplevel window. But you
might want to realize a widget before showing it to e.g. call
gdk_window_set_functions(), so that on initial showing the functions
are already set.
