| The documentation of OffscreenWindow says: "When contained offscreen
    widgets are redrawn, OffscreenWindow will emit a "damage-event"
    signal." 
 I connected a signal handler to signal_damage_event(), like so:
 
 m_pw.signal_damage_event().connect(And it worked, when I called get_pixbuf() in the signal handler!sigc::mem_fun(*this,
      &Test::on_offscreen_window_damage_event));

 Yes,
      I discovered that yesterday, but my end use for this cannot rely
      on user intervention.
      
 I derived my own OffscreenWindow class so I could trap events.
      Following the show_all(), I see signal_realize, and I see
      signal_map, but (contrary to the documentation: "The
      signal_map_event() signal will be emitted when the widget's window
      is mapped. A window is mapped when it becomes visible on the
      screen.") I never see signal_map_event, which is the one that
      would tell me when to call get_pixbuf().

 Can anybody tell me why this code
          returns a properly sized Pixbuf with no image data?
          When Gtk::OffscreenWindow::get_pixbuf() is called in Test::Test,
        the OffscreenWindow has not yet been drawn. Try my modified
        version of your code. When it's started, the window is empty. If
        you press a mouse button in the window,
        Test::on_button_press_event() is called, and the label's text is
        shown.
