The window to draw on is a Gdk::Window, not a Gtk::Window (completely
different things). Gtk::Window represents a toplevel window with
border decorations and normal window buttons while Gdk::Window
represents a drawable area.

The easiest way to create a custom widget that only displays something
is to use a Gtk::DrawingArea and override its on_draw method.
