Container.propagateExpose

When a container receives an expose event, it must send synthetic expose events to all children that don't have their own GdkWindows. This function provides a convenient way of doing this. A container, when it receives an expose event, calls gtk_container_propagate_expose() once for each child, passing in the event the container received. gtk_container_propagate_expose() takes care of deciding whether an expose event needs to be sent to the child, intersecting the event's area with the child area, and sending the event. In most cases, a container can simply either simply inherit the "expose" implementation from GtkContainer, or, do some drawing and then chain to the ::expose implementation from GtkContainer. Note that the ::expose-event signal has been replaced by a ::draw signal in GTK+ 3, and consequently, gtk_container_propagate_expose() has been replaced by gtk_container_propagate_draw(). The GTK+ 3 migration guide for hints on how to port from ::expose-event to ::draw.
