Yes, this really really helped me! :) Thank you.

As I said before, my widget is based on gtk.DrawingArea. I implemented 
do_size_request(self, requisition) but it wasn't called until I've set 
__gtype_name__ = 'EggClockFace' on the class, anybody knows why ?

Can anybody tell me if this line of thought is ok: do_size_allocate() is in 
charge of receiving a 'size' and allocating of that size space for each of 
the sub-widgets, but in my case I don't have any subwidgets, everything is 
done in draw() so I con get along without implementing do_size_allocate(), 
right ?

Thank you.
