gtk_widget_realize() creates the (X) window + events associated if
it has one.

gtk_widget_map() displays the widget on the screen.

These 2 functions call gtk_<widget_name>_realize (resp. map) and
are widget's internal. They are called automatically by the widget.

gtk_widget_show() is the user way to display a widget on the screen.
Basically, it calls gtk_widget_map().


These functions are explained in the tutorial chap. 20 (I guess)
"creating your own widget" (or something like that).


Hope this help.
