or you can follow the advice given in previous incarnations of this,
one of the most common questions on gtk-list, and use

    gdk_pixmap_colormap_create_from_xpm()

and its equivalents. this function does not require a valid Window,
you can simply use gdk_colormap_get_system() to provide the necessary
colormap. 

i admit to being guilty of not checking with bugzilla, but i hope that
this very confusing semantic area is fixed in 2.0 ....
