IIRC, if you hook up to expose-event, gtk doesn't run its default expose 
handler anymore.  i *think*, that if you just do gdk_window_clear_area() 
in your handler, using event->area as the arguments, that should do it.

also, after doing gdk_window_set_back_pixmap() in your style-set 
handler, you may want to call gtk_widget_queue_draw().
