As Gtk3 now is all Cairo, I think you must do clipping on that level.
Or is that behaving differently in Gtk2?
It might also be that more widgets are windowless (i.e. writes into the parent 
window).

For Emacs, scroll bars may not be redrawn correctly for Gtk3, so there is 
definitly some changes in drawing.
