Visualizing gtk+ exposures postmortem

As of yesterday, I'm 25. It was a fun day of hiking, drinks, video games, and district9.

In gdkrecord, I added recording of GdkWindow sizes and exposure areas so that I can troubleshoot some pesky drawing problems with a few custom widgets.

And HTML5 Video below or at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdOLjd52R4E.

Usage:

./gdkrecord-tool exposures myrecordfile.out
