as far as i know your drawing area will look pretty boring if you don't 
overide at least on_realize and on_expose_event ...; so i would suggest 
to derive your own drawing area (maybe you should take a look at 
http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/gtkmm-2.4/docs/tutorial/html/ch14.html) and 
then put an instance of that class in your specal eventbox.

what i don't understand: for what reason do you want to call 
on_realize() manually (it is called atomatically for you ...) ?
