lets repeat the mantra again:

	Users of X Window based toolkits: draw only in response to 
        expose events. Draw *only* in response to expose events.

You have two specific problems in the code above:

	a) the area has no Gdk::Window until it has been realized,
	   which occurs at a point in time that you have no
	   control over.

	b) you should draw into an on-screen drawable (like the 
           Gdk::Window) only from an expose event handler.
