No. A new window with blank content is launched.

I don't think so but I'm very new to this. It worked fine in a
test program. Still the widget does have a non standard calling
sequence. You have to do a show_all on the top level window before
actually building all the graphics classes and drawing in abiword.
One solution might be to register an idle function to actually perform the
the map_to_screen method (when all the graphics classes are created and
populated) after the top level window is shown.
I'll look at eog and see if I can see how prgrams that draw into an
unknown area solve this.
Thanks
