The transparency color isn't what you probably want (color to be made
transparent) but rather the color to be used where the image is
transparent, i.e. the background color. To have transparency in an XPM
you want a None color in it, see e.g. book_open_xpm in
gtk+/gtk/testgtk.c.

Also, I think you need a hash mark like so: "#FF0000"
