[Gtk-sharp-list] Help with widget not displaying in dialog

[Andy Selvig]

Alan-

Sorry, I guess it's hard to tell without having the full code. I assume
there's a bunch of code that the Gtk# designer is creating that isn't really
obvious. In general, though, custom widgets need to be drawn on every expose
event. I'm guessing your problem has something to do with that.
