I just did some testing with the unrealized signal in a Gtk::DrawingArea-derived widget I have, and it is only fired when the window is destroyed. GtkWidget provides a couple other signals that might be of interest though: "unmap", "unmap-event", and "visibility-notify-event". My bets would be on visibility-notify-event as being the most likely candidate for being useful. Perhaps a combination if visibility-notify-event and unrealized (if visibility-notify-event doesn't get fired on window destruction). I haven't done any testing to determine when these events are fired, but it shouldn't be difficult to do. Now, you may be able to tap in to these events within GdkWindow, just without using signal handlers; I really don't know (and I haven't gone poking around in the GdkWindow code yet to find out). HTH, and I hope you have some good success in improving GTK's redraw performance. - Michael _______________________________________________ gtk-list@xxxxxxxxx http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gtk-list
