Having done this several times, I recommend (for maximum
efficiency and senseability), use GDK RGB buffers. Make
your own buffer and `put' it to the GdkWindow displaying
the graphics.

*THEN* use that inverse gc to draw the rectangle as I described
earlier on the already drawn GdkWindow (no GdkPixmaps involved).

However if the original graphics is not manipulated constantly,
then using a GdkPixmap instead of GDK RGB buffers may be
a tad bit more simplistic.
