Suggestions:

  1. Put both the drawing area and the buttons inside a GtkFixed container. Probably not the best solution, because GtkFixed has no way of controlling the z-ordering (other than the order in which you add the widgets to it?)
  2. Instead of using GtkDrawingArea, use a canvas widget that can include other widgets, such as GooCanvas.
