Re: "drawingarea->window" question.... what is it set to?

If one really wanted to set this GdkWindow for some drawingarea
I found a way to do it!!!

See this little known gem.... gtk_widget_realize().
(e.g. gtk_widget_realize(myDrawingArea); )

When I ran this function it gave me a warning
about the "parent" not being set.

Do you know what the "parent" of a widget is set to?
If I can set the parent myself and call gtk_widget_realize
then I think I may accomplish my madness.

Sincerely,

Chris
