(Gtk_Pixmap were fully removed from GTK 3)

i can't do it easily because it would need to review all design an user 
interface of RAPID.

ok, that's it. thank you very much :-))

afaiu, the specific thing about Gtk_Pixmap is that i need not to call 
Show on it, calling Show on its parent is enough.

but, I thought calling Show on a container was recursive on its childs, 
wrong?


last:
now, it works fine with a Gtk_Event_Box as container.

is it ok, or do you think i should avoid it anyway?

if i should avoid it, is there an other Gtk_Bin that i could use, or do 
you think Gtk_Box is the only one i should use for this purpose?
