help with gdk_draw_string

[Sri Ramkrishna <sri aracnet com>]

Can someone give me a snippet of code that allows me to open up a window
and be able to print a text out using gdk_draw_string?  I'm having a
frustrating time trying to get this working.  From the tutorials and
everything it seems that I should be able to get this but it's not
happening and I'm not sure why.
