+ <para><link linkend="class-gtkoffscreenwindow"><classname>gtk.OffscreenWindow</classname></link> is strictly
+ intended to be used for obtaining snapshots of widgets that are not part of a normal widget hierarchy.
+ It differs from <link linkend="method-gtkwidget--get-snapshot"><methodname>gtk.Widget.get_snapshot</methodname></link>()
+ in that the widget you want to get a snapshot of need not be displayed on the user's screen as a part
+ of a widget hierarchy. However, since <link linkend="class-gtkoffscreenwindow"><classname>gtk.OffscreenWindow</classname></link>
+ is a toplevel widget you cannot obtain snapshots of a full window with it since you cannot pack a
+ toplevel widget in another toplevel.</para>
+
+ <para>The idea is to take a widget and manually set the state of it, add it to a
+ <link linkend="class-gtkoffscreenwindow"><classname>gtk.OffscreenWindow</classname></link> and then retrieve
+ the snapshot as a <link linkend="class-gdkpixmap"><classname>gtk.gdk.Pixmap</classname></link> or

+ from <link linkend="class-gtkwindow"><classname>gtk.Window</classname></link> only as an implementation
+ detail. Applications should not use any API specific to <link linkend="class-gtkwindow"><classname>gtk.Window</classname></link>
+ to operate on this object. It should be treated as a <link linkend="class-gtkbin"><classname>gtk.Bin</classname></link>
+ that has no parent widget.</para>
+
+ <para>When contained offscreen widgets are redrawn,
+ <link linkend="class-gtkoffscreenwindow"><classname>gtk.OffscreenWindow</classname></link> will emit a
