Very rarely-used function. This function is used to emit
an expose event signals on a widget. This function is not
normally used directly. The only time it is used is when
propagating an expose event to a child NO_WINDOW widget, and
that is normally done using gtk_container_propagate_expose().
If you want to force an area of a window to be redrawn,
use gdk_window_invalidate_rect() or gdk_window_invalidate_region().
To cause the redraw to be done immediately, follow that call
with a call to gdk_window_process_updates().
