said that you needed to use gtk_widget_realize() ?

man... for your information i quote:

What's new in GTK+-2.0
======================

....

- Integration of the gdk-pixbuf library for loading and manipulating
   images.

...

this information is on gtk.org... as you see on gtk+-1.2 there wasn't
gdk-pixbuf, it was created for gtk+-2.0.. i'm using gtk+1.2, e haven't
used gtk+-2.0... can gdk-pixbuf be used with gtk+-1.2? i don't know, but
why try to integrate a new tool with a "obsolete" library?... so i
repeat, i haven't used gtk+-2.0, and if i wanted to use gdk-pixbuf i
wouldn't use it on gtk+-1.2...

i think you should be calmer... if you keep with that attitude next time
maybe no one will help you...
