As far as I understand, this assertion is raised because the set_events() 
method should be called *after* the widget is realized, ie after it is 
drawn on the screen.

But my drawing area is part of a dialog, and this dialog is opened from the 
main window as a modal dialog, calling its run() methog. Once it enters in 
its main loop, I can't do anything more, so I can't call the set_events() 
method!

I don't understand why GTK+ is so complicated for such simple things... Why 
signals are not enabled by default? As long as there are no callback, I 
don't see what could happen. In fact, I think that low-level stuffs are 
not object-oriented, and are very difficult to integrate in an 
object-oriented application.

Any idea to solve my problem?
