This is the only part of your email that looks like a problem that you have encountered. Why can't you cast Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Drawable> to Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window> by using RefPtr::cast_dynamic, like so: Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Drawable refDrawable; Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window> refWindow = Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Window>::cast_dynamic(refDrawable); http://www.gtkmm.org/docs/glibmm-2.4/docs/reference/html/classGlib_1_1RefPtr.html#e0 [snip] > Also, If you look at GTK+ code, you will find that almost all functions > are taking GdkWindow (equal to GdkDrawable) as argument.

If a GTK+ function has a GdkWindow* parameter that can actually be some other GdkDrawable* (not a GdkWindow*), then that would be a GTK+ bug. Please CC me on any such bugzilla bugs.
