Well, these functions are totally useless in the new GTK; you would
normally use gdk_pixbuf_new_from_xpm_data() instead, or better use
GdkPixbuf with inline RGB or PNG data. Then you would display the
pixbuf in a GtkImage. There is basically no reason to create a pixmap
from XPM data anymore.

It looks like there's a g_return_if_fail() at the top of the functions
now that requires either a window or colormap to be passed in, which
is probably a clearer warning (assertion failed in
gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm_d(): window != NULL or something).
