No - gtk currently breaks logic by not updating somehting that shoudl
be re-drawn when updated.

If I - as a programmer am programming so I have a loop ant lest say
scans a directory - and as I read I update the progress bar - I expect
that progress bar to redraw and update when I update it - not 30 second
slater do all the updates when I exit my function. GTK currently with
this widget is defying logic. I believe Owen is right. This widget in
particular needs to redraw when it is updated.
