1) What's wrong with the expose event?

2) write a rouine that goes through the widget's structures
   to execute a method directly. Place it in a .c file with
   the <widget>P.h file included. Compile & use as needed.

3) Write such a routine, but put it in the <widget>.c file
   itself, and make it non-static (ie, public). This is good
   for your own widgets, not so good for other stuff you may
   need to upgrade via patch or replacement.
