In general, you shouldn't be doing any drawing anywhere except in your
widget's expose handler. If you want to trigger a draw, you'd use
gtk_widget_queue_draw_area() (or gtk_widget_queue_draw() to just trigger
a redraw of the entire widget).
For the expose handler, if you have your own widget implementation,
you'd override GTK_WIDGET_CLASS(your_widget_class)->expose_event in your
widget's class_init() function, or, if it's not your own widget, you can
connect to the widget's "expose-event" signal. Do your drawing in that
handler.
