Then I suppose either the implementation of gtk_widget_queue_draw () in
GTK+ 1.2 is buggy (or missing?) or there is any other nasty, probably
non-obvious fault in your program. There should be other people here who
are able to possibly confirm such GTK+ 1.2 bug? Maybe you should start a
new thread and precisely ask for that?

Did you conduct your latest tests involving gtk_widget_queue_draw () in
C or Pascal?  If in C: have you verified that your Pascal interface to
GTK+ knows about gtk_widget_queue_draw () and actually invokes it?

How about upgrading to GTK+ 2.x?
