custom widget

[Akos Maroy <darkeye tyrell hu>]

Hi,

After seeing that the custom widget sample in the source tarball just 
doesn't work, I checked out the gtkmm CVS, and took a look at the same 
sample there. as you can see from the attached image, now the sample app 
actually shows something - but it draws itself unto its parent window, 
not unto 'itself'. this is probably due to the following code change in 
on_realize():


//    m_refGdkWindow = Gdk::Window::create(get_window() /* parent */,
//                       &attributes,
//                       GDK_WA_X | GDK_WA_Y);

    m_refGdkWindow = get_window();


where, aperantly get_window() returns the parent window.

where to go from here? how could one successfully create a window for 
the custom widget, and draw into it?
