Close, but no cigar.  A drawable is a window or a pixmap.  A widget is something
completely different.  Give your function example, you will have to write a
new function that draws into a pixmap.  Since you pass a widget which is
very different than a pixmap.  

You may be able to define your functions to take a widget and a drawable, and
make your life easier, but without knowing the structure of your application I
cannot be much more specific.
