[gtk-list] Re: Inserting Text in a Text Widget

["Steve O'CONNOR" <soconnor baea com au>]

Realizing a widget :

- This creates the 'peer' object by creating a real Xwindow on the display
to draw this control.

- Some GTK controls have their own real-XWindows control assosiated
with them, and need to be realized before you do anything heavy with
them.

- Some lightweight controls just draw themselves on the parent's
Xwindow, and do not have a real-Xwindow attached to them. These
ones let you do heavy work without having to be 'realized'.
