[gtkada] inserting a xpm image

[caleb baker]

hi

i'm trying to load an xpm image into a gui and i'm using pixmap and i'm 
having trouble doing this.

i'm using the code

   colour := white(Gtk.Widget.Get_Default_Colormap);
   Clear(Graphics_window);
   Set_Background (Graphics_window, colour);
   Gdk.Bitmap.Gdk_New (mask, Graphics_window, 250, 250);
   Create_From_Xpm (pic, Graphics_window, mask, colour, Image_file);

and it's complaining that graphics_window is null, i have looked the the 
Gdk-window.ads and i can't find anything which sets what the graphics window 
actually has in it.

also i'm not sure how to show it

any help, or examples of code would be appriciated

thanks
caleb baker
