Re: GDK Set_Background

[Chris Sparks <mrada catalina-inter net>]

Thanks for responding.  In my sample program, the one you suggested, I have
no problems
with the background being redrawn every time I occlude/expose a window on
my sample
window.  It is the main application I have developed from the past that is
having the problems.
I still need to track down why when I occlude/expose a window on my application
window
that it doesn't draw the background.  I looked at the set_back_pixmap calls
and my pixmap 
isn't null.  Maybe I need to debug it with a debugger and figure out what
is going on.
