I though so, too, but I checked that the colormap ID of both window and (GDK)
pixmap are the same. (Or must every object have its own colormap?)

Hard to tell. It seems that most of the pixels have the background color and
thus are "invisible" and some others have the wrong (all black?) color.

I uploaded a small archive to http://depositfiles.com/files/hw3q64eqy where
you'll find 0.png which is the icon as it should be (and comes that way quite
often) and 1.png to 4.png being typical distortions.

Oh, that would be really great. I have experience with GTK, but not much with
the "lower level" GDK and am quite new to pure X11, although I'm very eager
to learn.

If you have any idea or any suggestion for further tries, please let me know.
