Hi Rob,

I wrote a small test widget in which you can see the behaviour of the 
drawingarea. I packed it in a mainwindow by adding it. I also tried to 
do this with a frame around it and the frame is resizing, but not the 
drawing area. You can see in the small blue area that the line is 
changing, so expose works

Here my code:

testArea.h

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

#ifndef testArea_H_
#define testArea_H_

#include <gtkmm.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class testArea : public Gtk::DrawingArea {

public:
    testArea();
    virtual ~testArea();
private :
    void status();

protected:
    virtual void on_size_request(Gtk::Requisition* requisition);
    virtual void on_size_allocate(Gtk::Allocation& allocation);
    virtual void on_map();
    virtual void on_unmap();
    virtual void on_realize();
    virtual void on_unrealize();
    virtual bool on_expose_event(GdkEventExpose* event);
    virtual bool on_configure_event(GdkEventConfigure* event);

};

#endif /* testArea_H_ */

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

testArea.cpp

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

#ifndef testArea_H_
#define testArea_H_

#include <gtkmm.h>
#include <iostream>

using namespace std;

class testArea : public Gtk::DrawingArea {

public:
    testArea();
    virtual ~testArea();
private :
    void status();

protected:
    virtual void on_size_request(Gtk::Requisition* requisition);
    virtual void on_size_allocate(Gtk::Allocation& allocation);
    virtual void on_map();
    virtual void on_unmap();
    virtual void on_realize();
    virtual void on_unrealize();
    virtual bool on_expose_event(GdkEventExpose* event);
    virtual bool on_configure_event(GdkEventConfigure* event);

};

#endif /* testArea_H_ */

Thanks
