Thanks James! I was able to get GdkColor like you descibed except the
method I was trying to use "Drawingarea.draw_line" want a GdkGC (graphic
context?) instead of GdkColor. Anyway, after much experimenting, I was
finally able to draw stuff on DrawingArea. It turned out that I had to
implement the "expose" event of a DrawingArea to do the actual drawing.
Any one can help me with the following quesions?
(1) Can you call drawing method directly instead of implementing its
"expose" signal to draw stuff?
(2) I was able to get gc from GdkWidget.get_style().black_gc. How do I
get other colors? (I tried get_style().blue_gc, didn't work)
(3) How do you get a GdkFont object used by draw_string()?
Thanks a lot!

Here is experiment code:
drawing_area = GtkDrawingArea()
drawing_area.set_usize(300, 300)
vbox.pack_start(drawing_area)
drawing_area.show()
def expose_event(darea, event):
drawable = darea.get_window()
white_gc = darea.get_style().white_gc
grey_gc = darea.get_style().bg_gc[STATE_NORMAL]
black_gc = darea.get_style().black_gc
max_width = drawable.width
max_height = drawable.height
draw_rectangle(drawable, white_gc, TRUE, 0, 0,
max_width, max_height / 2)
draw_rectangle(drawable, black_gc, TRUE, 100, 100,
100, 100)
draw_line(drawable, black_gc, 20, 250, 280, 250)
# font = "-adobe-helvetica-medium-r-normal--*-100-*-*-*-*-*-*"
# draw_string(drawable, font, black_gc, 50, 280, "hello world!")
draw_arc(drawable, black_gc, TRUE, 50, 50, 25, 25, 0, 90)
drawing_area.connect("expose_event", expose_event)
