The problem there is that the GtkButton has an X window that's
obscuring the canvas's X window.

But the same kind of redraw glitch can happen (less frequently) with
no-window widgets.

Basically widgets on the canvas don't work worth a crap. The solution
would be to have a canvas more closely integrated with GTK, you would
need modifications to the widget system.
