The problem is that the redisplay code wants to know the height/width of the dividers beforehand, and there is no easy way to get that from the GtkStyle class. You can get basic 'xthickness' and 'ythickness', but WHAT the style does with those is of course up to the style. *sigh* I'll probably have some redisplay questions over the weekend if anybody is going to be around. :) Basically if I unmap/map the frame, everything gets drawn (this call change_frame_visibility()). But if I then obscure the window, and then expose it, I get an expose event and call gtk_redraw_exposed_area() with the correct rectangle, but nothing shows up. I end up with the background of the face filling the area where text should be, but no text is visible. I can send screenshots if that would help anyone. Is there some bit I need to twiddle?
