I guess yes.
As gdk_window and gdk_pixmap are quite well separated, this is usefull
to have both.
This is not really a technical problem, but calling a window function
to do a pixmap function job will be disturbing...
I don't think it's a good idea to mess up the API just to avoid 10
lines of code because it's duplication...
If you want just one function, just do like in X.
Define explicitly a type like gdk_drawable to write function on both
gdk_window and gdk_pixmap.
This is the price to pay.
Are you willing to pay the price? :)
Patrice.
