It works, and it does indeed draw quickly :-)

But compiling (Win32) old layout, I get:

gtkprefs.c: In function `LabelsToggled':
gtkprefs.c:1141: `redrawChange' undeclared (first use in this 
function)
gtkprefs.c:1141: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
gtkprefs.c:1141: for each function it appears in.)
C:\MINGW\BIN\MINGW3~4.EXE: *** [gtkprefs.o] Error 1
