Isn't that in the FAQ ?
Surprise, surprise.
I suggest using the same function but with "colormap" included in the
name.
Get the system default colormap first and use that as the parameter.
In short:

    GdkColormap *default_colormap;
...
    pixmap = gdk_pixmap_colormap_create_from_xpm_d
                (NULL, default_colormap, &mask, NULL, (gchar **)
xpm_data);
    pixmapwid = gtk_pixmap_new (pixmap, mask);

Works for me.

HTH,

Norbert.
