using gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm_d()

[Simon Chan <simonchan shaolinmicro com>]

Dear,

I want to display image and use gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm_d() function.
Also, I want to run gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm_d() and then sleep program and then 
finally call gtk_widget_show(window)

eg:

gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm_d();
sleep(10);
gtk_widget_show(window);


However, I investigated that after calling this function, a grey square
is displayed. Anyone know how to erase or minimise this grey square??

Regards

Simon
