Thanks, Tristan. I'm working in PHP-Gtk2, so I don't have access to 
everything that are available in C. I did, eventually, come up with a 
solution that seems to work by building an array of tiles (copies of the 
image) and using GtkLayout::put(). It just occurred to me that if I add 
more tiles during runtime, I may have to refresh everything in the 
foreground by hand, but I'm guessing that won't be too big a deal.

Again, Tristan, thanks for your input. You helped me get looking in the 
right direction.
