You didn't read what I wrote, did you? A GdkBitmap is a GdkPixmap is a
GdkDrawable. So in order to create a bitmap from scratch you use

  gdk_pixmap_new (width, height, 1);

There's also gdk_bitmap_create_from_data() which is probably a more
efficient way since it allows you to initialize the bitmap at the same
time.
