Re: gtk_draw_area not displaying

[John Cupitt ng-london org uk]

Hi Jason, I think you're a bit mixed up about the way the gtk drawing model
works.

Confusingly, drawing_area is not a thing you can draw to (usually) ...
instead 
it represents a piece of screen which your app should repaint when asked.
You 
should connect to the drawing area's expose event and repaint from there.

The scribble example in the tutorial covers this.
