You misunderstand what I'm saying I think (you still draw_circle(),
draw_point(), etc., you just draw on a client side buffer instead of
an X drawable). You need a library to draw primitives on the client
side, such as the one that comes with Guppi.

Basically you are using a client-side buffer as backing store instead
of a GdkPixmap.

(It's not worth the pain unless you actually have performance
problems, of course.)
