Window/widget contents -> pixmap?

[Conrad Steenberg <conrad srl caltech edu>]

Hi

I want to capture a widget's display into a pixmap. This is for something
like making a png/gif button on a web page look like a GTK button.

Can I create a widget and have it draw on a pixmap? I.e. setting
widget->window to be a GdkPixmap. Or is there a way to dump the contents
of a GdkDrawable into a GdkPixmap?

Any hints appreciated!

Conrad
