There is two ways of using DrawingArea: drawing during its Draw event, or 
setting Cached to TRUE and drawing in it directly. I don't see why the first 
one would be more difficult than the second one, even for a newbie. But I 
know for sure that setting Cached to TRUE use a pixmap buffer that uses 
memory, so I prefer Cached being set to FALSE by default.
