Can someone provide an example or hint on how to begin drawing text on
the root window using pango? I've seen the gtk docs common questions
about drawing text.The problem I see there, is that a GtkWidget is
passed into the call to:

    gtk_widget_create_pango_layout( GtkWidget*, conat gchar* );

Presumably this it the widget you are about to draw text on, but
the docs say that the widget is used for creating a colormatp, font
description, and direction of text. Could this be any GtkWidget?

The other possibility is to create the layout from a GdkWindow. Can this
be done?


thanks
