Hi, I think that you must $windowe->realize() before you can use it in 
this way.

There is, apparently, a better way. I have read that it is better to use the
perl equivalent of the C code below (from Damon Chaplin)

   GdkColormap *colormap;

   colormap = gtk_widget_get_colormap (widget);
   gdkpixmap = gdk_pixmap_colormap_create_from_xpm (NULL, colormap, &mask,
                                                    NULL, "new.xpm");
