creating a pixmap from a char*

[Rajarshi Guha <rajarshi presidency com>]

Hi,
  I've been using glade to design a GUI. At one point I need to create a
pixmap. Glade gives me a create_pixmap() function but this loads a
pixmap from  a file. My program stores pixmaps in a char* and I could'nt
find any gtk/gdk functions which will let me create a pixmap from a
char*  -is there any way I can create a pixmap from a XPM stored in a
char*?

Another related question is how can I set the icon on a specific button
in a toolbar? I looked at the code generated by Glade but it sets the
pixmap for the button when it is attached to the toolbar. But I'm using
libglade so I need to set the icon after the toolbar is created. 

Thanks,
