I think that should work when you give the widgets GdkWindow (which is
a GdkDrawable) as the parameter, which is accessible as
widget->window.

So something like

pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_get_from_drawable (NULL, widget->window, NULL,
widget->allocation.x, widget->allocation.y, 0, 0,
widget->allocation.width, widget->allocation.height);

should work as you want. The use of allocation for coordinates is in
case the widget  has not got a window of it's own (in that case
widget->window points to its parent widgets window).
