RE: gtk rendering order

[Kevin Brooks <kb_list yahoo com>]

It's because EventBox is a widget which has its own
gdkwindow so it can be rendered above its parent
gdkwindow. If you try to set the EventBox to has no
visible window then you will find that the window
background cover everything again.

For those no window widgets, child widgets on the top
will be always rendered first and the bottom most
parent window widget last.(when try to catch expose
event and draw your own)

I don't know how to reverse the rendering order
though.

Does anyone know how?

Kev
