Pixmap tiled GtkEventBox with GtkLabel problem

["Tara M" <learfox furry ao net>]

I'm trying to tile a GdkPixmap on a GtkEventBox by setting it
on it's bg_gc and using gdk_window_set_back_pixmap().

The "expose_event" is used to notify a redraw, by that I just
have my event handler call gdk_window_clear() to clear the GtkEventBox's
window.

But when the GtkLabel is then drawn, the GtkLabel re-clears the
GtkEventBox with what looks like the default background solid color
(light grey).

Is there a way to control GtkLabel and other widgets to `not mess
with their parents'?
