Help with shaped widgets

["Adam Watson" <a1c_watson hotmail com>]

Hi,

I am trying to create a widget shaped to the framed outline of an app I am 
writing.  I have tried gtk_widget_shape_combine_mask() but it masks the 
wrong area.  It instead maks the area I want to keep tranparent and 
clickable and places gray over the nice frame I spent hours creating.  How 
can I reverse this effect or am I going about this all wrong?

Also, I am using gtk+1.2.8 and tried using GnomeCanvas, GnomeAnimator, and 
GtkDrawingArea.  GnomeAnimator won't mask at all and GtkDrawing Area gives 
me an error sort of like this (writing this error from memory):

assertion: "isdrawable" != NULL

Please help,  I posted a similar request on the gnome-list and haven't 
recieved a response.

Thanks in advance,
Adam
