Just as an explanation to what confused Luc: the "old", 0.6,
gtk.GtkDrawingArea *had* API which proxied all calls to the underlying
GdkWindow. So it used to be okay to do
drawingarea.draw_point()
-- the GtkDrawingArea.draw_point() method proxied over to the
GdkWindow's draw_point() method.
This convenience doesn't exist in PyGTK-2 (it was mainly a subproduct
borne out of the fact that we had Python wrapper classes), so you need
to use
drawingarea.window.draw_point().
now. I'll update the upgrade item in the FAQ to clear up the confusion.
PS: Luc, you're not using GTK+ 1.2, even if you think you are <wink>
Take care,
