GtkPixmap does not have its own GdkWindow, so you cannot use a shaped
window with it.  However, it does have shape information in the
GtkPixmap->mask.  You don't need to do anything special for the pixmap
to have a shape.

This sounds like a very bad hack.  You may be better served by the
GnomeCanvas widget.
