I've seen this problem already with 0.99.4...

I think last time we fixed it by adding the widget to container and showing it
before using the GTK_WIDGET(gtkobject)->window thingy... Guess gtk does not
create the window now anymore if it really dont need it.

I've been thinking of making extra method to Gtk_Pixmap() to help people
load xpm's, that has been constantly a problem and the current ways of
doing it are ugly :)
