gdk_draw_image() forces a flush. but that is not the problem: you should
never use a while() loop inside a GTK+ application, because you are
effectively blocking the real main loop from spinning. remember: GTK+ is
not threaded.

use a timeout or an idle source to repaint your window with the
GdkImage.
