I have considered drawing the border as a whole and then overlaying
the left and right sides with eventboxes to add the current
functionality. Is that preferable? What /is/ preferable?
How can I shape these boxes efficiently? I know that this is answered
in the FAQ; I would like to know how to reuse what I have already
drawn, as in: "Make this thing transparent, *except* for where I've
drawn."
Any other comments on my code are of course extremely welcome as well.
I have had good success using pygoocanvas. It seems like a lot of work
to do what you are trying to do using pure cairo - a canvas would make
things easier and eliminate the redraw issues you are seeing.
Thank you for that suggestion, John. From (briefly) looking around,
pygoocanvas doesn't seem to be terribly well documented. With which I
could probably manage. The bigger problem to me seems that it
(appearantly) is not easily available for windows. While I am on Linux
most of the time, I'd like my app to work additionally on Windows (at
least).
