[Glade-users] reparenting a GtkDrawingArea with OpenGl

[Jeff Eberl]

Both windows need to be displayed, but they swap positions when the user
wants.  The left box is a lot bigger, so it's a way to change the focus from
the map to the picture. I've thought of a couple of work arounds:

1) I could completely destroy, and redraw the object, but that seems like
it's a waste, and I'd have to cache the information that's being drawn in a
second place.

2) I could create two copies of each, but them in vbox's and then just
change which one is hidden. So at startup the left map and right pic are not
hidden, and then when the user switches, the right map and left pic are not
hidden.  Seems like even more of a waste.
