Problem with GtkFixed and expose events

["Rene' Seindal" <rene seindal dk>]

I have an application with a bunch of GtkFixed containers I use to
display GtkPixmaps of playing cards. I often move the cards/Pixmaps from
one GtkFixed to another, but sometimes the area exposed by a removed
pixmap isn't cleared properly. It is not deterministic, so I suspect it
to depend on the order of the expose events sent from the X-server.

I move the pixmaps from one GtkFixed to another with a piece of code
like this:

    gtk_widget_hide(pixmap);
    gtk_container_remove(GTK_CONTAINER(fixed1), pixmap);
    gtk_fixed_put(fixed2, pixmap, 0, new_pos);

If I don't hide the pixmap first, the exposed area is left with the
image of the pixmap much more often.

I use gtk 1.2.5 and XFree86 3.5

Does anyone else have similar problems?
