It finally worked! This is just to serve as future reference if others comme upon a similar problem. I tried using the gtk_widget_queue_resize() function and not only did the drawing area resize correctly, but it refreshed automatically (I did not have to scroll or resize the window).

Hope that this can help others with similar problems.

Thanks for the help
