It is now, and it works now.  Worked fine before as a void function up until
the newer release used in the newer distributions.  (guess I was depending on a
bug...)

The other problem I still have is a memory leak in gdk_imlib routines
gdb 5.0 says my program crashes in _gdk_imlib_flush_image() but doesn't give me
more information.  
My color picker section of my code is all scrambled currently and seems like an
overflow error.  The Red/green/blue values are 8 bit in my code (0-255) and
they also worked in older distribs (redhat 7.0 and mandrake 7.2)

Any ideas, what may have changed since then with regards to color allocation?
