if you do 
gtk_widget_realize(your_widget);

before the gdk_pixmap_new(your_widget->window,......) that warning will
not appear..

the reason because it's not appearing when you pass mainwindow->window
is because before you are calling gdk_pixmap_new() you are doing
gtk_widget_show(mainwindow);, wright? :-)
