Well, according to documentation now the default is true so you
could remove first 2 calls which set buffering to true just after
widget creation. Last call is very simple and adding 
G_GNUC_BEGIN_IGNORE_DEPRECATIONS/G_GNUC_END_IGNORE_DEPRECATIONS seems
enough.
Didn't test it.

Then from what I understand from the documentation we should not
call this function. Unless it only applied to these "translucent
drawing".
