Re: X11 GC from a GtkDrawingArea?

[John Vago <jpvago earthlink net>]

I did realize this soon after I posted that I was mixing apples and oranges.

Still I need an X Window as well, and not the GdkWindow, an X GC and not the

GdkGC.

There's no methods to get these it seems, but browsing
/usr/include/gdk/gdkx.h
seemed to help.  I found reference to GdkWindowPrivate and GdkGCPrivate..

I think those are what I want.

Thanks,
John
