Hello,

I believe that it passes all the key word and normal arguments to the
superclass constructors.

Out of interest, why are you using a Gtk drawing area as an additional base
class?  Every widget (even the tool button) has the draw signal.  Is this
what you are using it for or is there something else?

Thanks,
Sam
