Can you be more specific ?
1) Grey square is the image you want to display or you get it on display 
instead of your image ?
2) How do you display obtained from xpm GdkPixmap ?
3) Why do you need to sleep ? This will block your thread for 10 secs, 
so you will
   not be able to respond on user actions. Maybe gtk timeouts stuff can 
help you ?
