Shouldn't realize manually in this case; realization is guaranteed by
the time you get an expose event, and you should draw in response to
expose events. See the "scribble" example in the tutorial.

realization does _not_ put a widget onscreen, it creates the GdkWindow
but doesn't show it. So any drawing you do will be lost.
