It would because it would work if you put the content there any other
time.  IOW it is a completely unecessary complication.

The "realized" signal is related to the creation of resources on the
X-server side, but this does not influence whether the widget objects
can hold the data or not.  It always can.  Sometimes you need the widget
to be realized, e.g. if you want to do something that depends on its
GdkScreen but that's something quite different.
