I'm sorry if i messed things up here a bit. I should have asked "If the DrawingArea uses only a GdkWindow I guess..." not GdkScreen. The question here was: Is the GtkDrawingArea using a GdkWindow internaly or is it using a client side image representation for some implementation reasons? Where by client side image I refer to a GdkRGB or maybe GdkPixBuf. > >By the way...
