colordepth of pixmaps

[P Jean dit Bailleul <jdb abacom com>]

When i want to create pixmaps (GDK_Pixmap_New(nil, FWidth, FHeight, 24);)
with a color depth of 24 bits while my screen use only 16 bits i get an
error stating that i can't use a higher depth than the screen one. Is it a
limitation of the GDK or is it due to the way i'm creating the pixmap?
