sorry, i forget a key fact: the GtkWidget in this case is a Pixmap,
not a generic widget. As long as its been realized, you can draw in it
at any time, more or less.

for most widgets, the expose event is the right place to do
drawing. its the best place for pixmaps too, but they can be accessed
elsewhere. 

either that or i need to eat some lunch because my brain has forgotten
all this stuff.
