->  drawing_area_size merely changes the _requested_ size. In fact,
->  even that requested size can be overriden by gtk_widget_set_usize().
->  (Drawing_area_size probably should be thought of as changing
->  the default size.)
->  
->  Most likely, you need to change the policy on the toplevel window.
->  
->  void       gtk_window_set_policy               (GtkWindow           *window,
->  						gint                 allow_shrink,
->  						gint                 allow_grow,
->  						gint                 auto_shrink);

already put that on the parent window (its an actual window) allowed it
to grow and shrink.

->  But if the configure event gets called with a size the widget
->  doesn't have, that is a bug.

the widget has the size the configre event sends, but i resized it to
somehting else.. that resize never hapens.. even if i queue the draw...
no matter what i do eventually it screws up..
