Using the bulletin board widget of Open Look I represent some widgets at
particular coordinates. I want to draw lines or arrows between some of
these widgets. But somehow what is drawn to the bulletin board never
appears at the screen, not even after the bulletin board has been realised.

Investigation shows that for the bulletin board widget no expose procedure
is defined, which gives an indication why nothing appears.

Now I have two questions:

1. is my line of reasoning okay ?

2. maybe somebody knows a workaround ? like a specialization of the
   bulletin board that handles expose events ? please comment.
