Showing an image

[boxdot]

I am using background-image: url("path/to/png") to show a background image in a widget. This is especially useful, when showing plots that are updated not too frequently.

Of course this approach does not work, because the background image is set only once and is never updated. As far as I can see, GTK actually uses base64 encoded image. I wonder if this approach can somehow be fixed to work with re-rendering.
