  But when I call gdk_pixmap_unref, it doesn't check the reference count
on the server side, it calls XFreePixmap () if its own reference count
is 0.

  The problem is that I'm not going to use the pixmap again, I just set
the window icon and then I don't need it anymore. If I call:

  load_pixmap ("icon.xpm", window, &pixmap, &mask);
  gdk_window_set_icon (window->window, NULL, pixmap, mask);
  gdk_pixmap_unref (pixmap);
  gdk_pixmap_unref (mask);

  Then the icon is not set but if I remove the last 2 lines then
everything works. When the window is destroyed, does it decrease the
reference count of the GdkPixmap or should I do it myself ?
