Not that it has anything to do with the problem you're seeing, but 
unless you're worried about keeping the second DrawingArea object 
around, why don't you just hide() it until you get to the point where 
you want it to show up? The Paned widget is smart enough to handle this 
in the expected way (i.e. it disappears when only one of its children is 
visible).
