heh, widget->window is never NULL, if widget->window was
created by the widget in question, then (widget->allocation.x == 0)
%100 of the time, widget->allocation is the area in widget->window
that you are allowed to draw in :)

So when you draw on widget->window on your GtkFrame:
   (GTK_WIGET (frame)->window == GTK_WIDGET (layout)->window)

I really think that GtkLayout is just deficient in the fact that
it doesnt handle being a GTK_NO_WINDOW widget, IMO it
should be fixed.

Maybe GtkFixed so happens to handle GTK_NO_WINDOW ?
