I took a look a while ago at the glade-2 code.  I think that hooking the
expose event on all the widgets, putting the expose region on the toplevel
widget coordinates, and draw a part of the selection rectangles if need will
we conceptually cleaner than what glade-2 does, but as I'll be also quite
happy with the glade-2 code :-)

These 3 bugs should be independent of the changes that I have in my hard
drive, so if you can start by these hopefully we will not step on each other
feet

Thank you for your help, Damon.
