Walter, I don't know very well how resolve it, but I think the problem is with changes in GTK3. <a href="http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-migrating-2-to-3.html">http://developer.gnome.org/gtk3/stable/gtk-migrating-2-to-3.html</a> Gonzalo <div class="gmail_quote">On Mon, Apr 11, 2011 at 9:33 PM, Walter Bender <<a href="mailto:walter.bender@gmail.com">walter.bender@gmail.com</a>> wrote: <blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;"> For some reason, when I try to access the window of my drawable area, it is coming back as None. I wonder if this is something that has somehow changed in GNOME 3. A DrawingArea is created using the constructor: drawing_area = gtk.DrawingArea() A DrawingArea is initially created with a size of (0, 0) so you should use the following method to make the drawing_area visible by setting its width and height to useful values greater than zero: drawing_area.set_size_request(width, height) To draw on a DrawingArea you must retrieve the wrapped gtk.gdk.Window using the window attribute of the DrawingArea as follows: drawable = drawing_area.window But drawable (which I call area in my code) is None. I'll keep poking around. -walter -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs <a href="http://www.sugarlabs.org" target="_blank">http://www.sugarlabs.org</a> _______________________________________________ Sugar-devel mailing list <a href="mailto:Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org">Sugar-devel@lists.sugarlabs.org</a> <a href="http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel" target="_blank">http://lists.sugarlabs.org/listinfo/sugar-devel</a> </blockquote></div>
