First, try the patch gtk-fortier-971207-0.patch.gz. It corrects
a pixmap bug on Solaris I introduced last month (shame on me).

I found a bug (maybe an old one?) on gtktest in the pixmap widget:
If the widget can't find the pixmap file, the result is NULL. But it
seems that an other part of the widget expect a non-NULL pixmap...
--> segv.

Are you sure that your program find the pixmap file? (it's a stupid
question but...) :)
