Hi C.J,

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought something like this was already
done. GtkGLext

Subject: Working on 119189 this weekend

Hey all,

I'm planning some time to work on 119189 this weekend.  I'm going to see
if I can put together a patch to add gtkgl.c and friends into gtk.

http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=119189

Behdad has suggested (and correct me if I've got this wrong, Behdad)
that he feels that instead of creating a dedicated OpenGL drawing widget
(similar to GtkDrawingArea), it would be better to add a method to the
API which allows a widget to be imbued with the ability to have OpenGL
primitives drawn to it.

What are your thoughts?  

Cheers,

C.J.
