Hello, Bryan

Tutorial says right, "configure_event" is called after drawing area 
realized (typically
only once) and size of drawing area changed (one time when you're 
resizing windows in
box-like style and many times per opaque resize). Try to add a simple 
'printf' to the
scribble-simple configure handler.
You need not to set any flag or event mask for this.
