Trying to set the palette in a window

["Robert Young" <robwolfman hotmail com>]

I have a simple window which contains a drawrea widget.  The goal is to draw 
some rgb images into the drawarea, which I have been able to do using the 
gdk_draw_rgb_image function.

The problem is that the image(s) use a special palette, and when I paint the 
image the colors are off.

The palette information is a 256 array of the three color values (red, 
green, blue).  I just cannot determine how to create/associate a colormap 
containing the palette information with the window/drawarea.

I've delved into the online documentation and the standard 2 gtk/gnome books 
but no luck.

Any hints on how to get started on resolving this problem?
