I confirm - just tried on the project I sended to you. You are right - 
good to know, even if it does not seem to hurt. But if you use 
draw.begin(), then you must use draw.end() too (just tried... eh eh 
eh... begins() and ends() are nestable, now I recall).

Uhm... I don't think it is possible and, anyway, it would make not much 
sense. Printing is a slow process and in the end a file is always 
generated, so who cares about memory (and, more or less, about speed). 
And more: printed jobs have several pages, where a drawingarea 
doesn't... so the approach is different.
