I don't know anything about gtkmm, but the gtk+ function that you
want a wrapper for is gdk_region_polygon(). If you've got the
time and the skill, I'm sure the gtkmm people would appreciate
a patch including a wrapper for that function (and possibly others
that they haven't got around to implementing yet).
