I want to figure that out afterwards. It's something I haven't figured
out completely yet. I consider it a part of rendering-cleanup part 4:
The hackfest menace.

I'm actually not sure about that. First, we don't have any code that
defines if an allocation is valid or even defines what a "valid"
allocation is. Or do we? gtk_widget_get_allocation() at least doesn't
do anything there.
But I guess we can add more warnings to gtk_widget_draw() while we
start using it. (Or better: Fix those problems).

Both of these problems at least belong to the "implementation details
that we might want to change later" stage. I suspect we'll find a few
useful knobs to tune and APIs to add when we port all those
applications to it. So I consider it by no means finished yet. But
it's certainly good enough to build a toolkit with. ;)
