I like the second idea, but will it work for my situation?

I have one BIG GtkDrawingArea inside a scrolled window.

I need to draw (about four) GtkPixmaps, several dozen times in it.
Kind of like how the GtkCList works with type PixText cells.

So would creating a GtkPixmap do the trick? If so how do I draw a
GtkPixmap (that is masked) to my BIG GtkDrawingArea?
