Are you sure about that? The docs I have say they are server-side (From
GtkPixmap.html):
        The pixels in a GtkPixmap cannot be manipulated by the
        application after creation, since under the X Window system the
        pixel data is stored on the X server and so is not available to
        the client application. 

GtkPixmap refers me to GtkImage for client side stuff. GtkImage appears
to be based on GdkImage (and GdkBitmap -- server-side). GdkImage does
include a bitmap function but says:
        a) it is depreciated
        b) it is incredibly broken
Which doesn't give me much confidence that bitmap GdkImages could be
made to work.
