Bit confused about what went wrong.  But I have done this in the past
with lablgtk using a scrolled drawing_area and just doing
da#put_pixmap before drawing all the other things on top.

This is really a Gtk problem, not lablgtk specific in any way.  Gtk
drawing areas are terribly complicated and I've often found it's a
matter of randomly trying stuff until it works, but it should
(eventually) work ...
