Sorry for missing them. I have just added them to git master:
http://git.gnome.org/cgit/gtkmm/commit/?id=f63da146d99e26f9cc84202a3c1b38685f447488

We haven't done any gtkmm 2.19 tarball release yet. I think we will
soon.

In the meantime, this hack should help you with gtkmm 2.18:

GdkPixmap* gdkwindow =
  gdk_offscreen_window_get_pixmap(
    cppgdkwindow->gobj());
Glib::RefPtr<Gdk::Pixmap> pixmap =  
  Glib::wrap((GdkPixmapObject*)gdkwindow);
if(pixmap)
  pixmap->reference().
