You don't manually loop for events, but instead set up your drawing in the
expose handle of the drawing widget. You then connect to this handle
through:
g_signal_connect(drawing_area, "expose-event",
G_CALLBACK(my_expose_handler),
user_data);
See the simple.c example in the gtkglarea source archive.
