[Xr] Help !!! GTK and Xr

Sorry for replying to my own posting here. Since I posted this message,
I am able to draw stuff on a GdkPixmap and then draw it on the GC. So
the double buffering scenario works fine. The problem was that, I forgot
to call XrFill() or XrStroke() function once I did all the Xr path
related calls.

However, drawing on the GtkWidget->window still does not work.

Thanks,
