Realize is the normal signal to use if you need to make changes to the
underlying GdkWindow once it has been created. I was using map in the
initial hack because Gtk appeared to set some behaviours after the
realize; probably when 'show' was called.

This looks much more sensible actually. Making changes to the
GtkWindow/GtkWidget and letting Gtk itself handle setting up the
GdkWindow tends to be the better option when it is possible.
