its the widget that *is* the pixmap. that is, if you did:

    GtkWidget *pixmap = gtk_pixmap_new (...);

and then connected to configure_event and expose_event on that pixmap,
the widget passed as the first argument is precisely that widget. 

you can use it yourself anywhere else, except that its allocation
(width, height), style and window may not be set until certain events
have occured.
