Hi Monks!,

I'm playing with Gtk2 (thanks zentara for your conseil), i've read the wonderful quick tutorial/how-to/guide Gtk2-Perl Study Guide (very recommended); but it doesn't (nor the Gtk documentation) covers some gtk2-perl objects. :'(

My problem is the following: I want to create a window with a background taken from a pixmap (i read an image with Gtk2::Gdk::PixBuf and obtain a Gtk2::Gdk::Pixmap).

Researching a little bit, i found Gtk2 very close to X11 programming, there are windows and they can be 'drawable' windows, so we can paint over them any background color or he content of a pixmap.

There are two types of windows in Gtk2, Gtk2::Window which has the simplest interface, and allows you to do almost anything (heritage from Gtk2::Widget). And the Gtk2::Gdk::Window, a low level interface, which allows you to the same as in X11 programming (i feel the power ...). For this object, the manuals are a little bit obscure; and i cannot go further without asking for the monks wisdom: did you ever set a background using Gkt2? is there any other way to do it whithout figthing with the greatest docummentation of Gtk2::Gdk::Window? does exists any tutorial to explain how to create and use Gtk2::Gdk::Window? ...

I'm obfuscated, i will try to read the code (if i find it), and if i succeed i will tell to you, my fellowship brothers ...

Cheers
