Application (expose event) callbacks implement painting for
application's own widgets and treeview cell renderers.
But where inside the application process they happen (app or Gtk code)
is not so important. The issue is that Gtk (AFAIK) has no mechanism to
synchronize this drawing with the compositor and doesn't offer
applications any mechanism for it either. If painting/redrawing
takes too long (there's some delay between the X draw commands due
to what application does internally), it doesn't go the the same boxed
XDamage event to the compositor.
