Window pixmap background

[Stephane Duguay <sduguay Matrox COM>]

Hi,

I've tried to do set the background pixmap of my window with the
two following function : 

static void set_window_back(GtkWidget* this_window)
{
    #include "../pixmaps/pdbkgnd.xpm"

    GtkStyle *style;
    GdkBitmap *mask;

    gtk_widget_realize(this_window);

    /******* also tried that one.....
    style = gtk_style_new();
    *******/

    style = gtk_style_copy(gtk_widget_get_style(this_window));

    style->bg_pixmap[GTK_STATE_NORMAL] =
               gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm_d(this_window->window, &mask,
                  &style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL], pdbkgnd_xpm);

    /*gtk_widget_set_app_paintable(this_window, TRUE);*/

    gtk_widget_set_style(this_window, style);

    gtk_style_unref(style);
    return;
}

I also tried that one...

static void set_window_back(GtkWidget* this_window)
{
    #include "../pixmaps/pdbkgnd.xpm"

    GdkPixmap *pixmap;
    GdkBitmap *mask;

    gtk_widget_realize(this_window);

    pixmap = gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm_d(this_window->window, &mask,
                  &this_window->style->bg[GTK_STATE_NORMAL], pdbkgnd_xpm);

    gtk_widget_set_app_paintable(this_window, TRUE);

    gdk_window_set_back_pixmap(this_window->window, pixmap, FALSE);

    return;
}

Both of them do NOT draw any pixmap...
I call this function just before gtk_widget_show(windowMain);

I really don't get what is wrong....

Thanks Havoc for the help provided...

I've been diggin' this mailing list archive on mail.gnome.org
for 2 hours now.. damn.

Stephane.
