this is kind of tangential, gdk_window_get_update_area sounded like
what i wanted. i checked the source and its not, so i'll ask.

i would like to be able to figure out what hunk of the a GdkWindow
is actually visible to the user ie not obscured by another 
window or hidden by the pager, ie to figure out which pixels of
a window actually correspond to physical screen pixels.

is there such a function? it would be useful for animations so as 
to avoid using cpu updating a window that the user cannot 
appreciate.
