Gdk_Region (Gtkmm question)



I asked this question first on the gtkmm list, but have gotten zero responses so far, and it reccomends that, for a faster response, I might want to pose my question on this list. So...
I'm having problems with the Gdk_Region wrapper.  I'm trying to use it to 
make a hexagonal area to clip with, but it doesn't seem that the wrapper 
does anything it all.  It exists, but the only way to create a Gdk_Region is 
to pass it another Gdk_Region...so I can't really create one of my own at 
all.  The headers say "this needs work", so has it been implemented at all 
yet?  Searching through the archives I found a similar complaint, and an 
attached implementation (which i havn't been able to get to compile), but is 
there a standard fix?
If not, I figure I could simply use a rectangular clip and draw in the extra 
stuff around the hex (i'm making a hexboard for a turn based strategy game) 
but that would /really/ suck.

"I must not fear.
Fear is the mind-killer.
Fear is the little-death that brings total obliteration.
I will face my fear.
I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing.
Only I remain."

"And did they get you to trade your heroes for ghosts?  Hot ashes for trees?
Hot air for cool breeze?  Cold comfort for change?
And did you exchange a walk on part in the war for a lead-role in a cage?"
