Distribution/Version: slackware/10.2

it is not possible to set a pixmap to the gtk_entry background.

Reason:
on expose event the entry draw a colored rectangle instead of the pixmap.

the bad code: gtk_default_draw_flat_box() (gtkstyle.c) line:

if (!style->bg_pixmap[state_type] || gc1 != style->bg_gc[state_type] ||
      GDK_IS_PIXMAP (window))

even if the first equation is false, second will/could be true -> no pixmap
background

if i remove the second equation the pixmap will be draw.
actually i do not know for what the second equation stands ...

it could maybe look like that:

if (!style->bg_pixmap[state_type] && ( gc1 != style->bg_gc[state_type] || 
GDK_IS_PIXMAP (window)))

gtk-demo do not show any weird output with this change.


test code:

#include <gtk/gtk.h>

GdkPixmap *pixmap;

void
set_background (GtkWidget *widget,  GdkPixmap *pixmap)
{
  GtkRcStyle *rc_style;
  GtkStyle   *style;

  style = gtk_style_copy (widget->style);
  if (style->bg_pixmap[0])
    g_object_unref (style->bg_pixmap[0]);
  style->bg_pixmap[0] = g_object_ref (pixmap);
  gtk_widget_set_style (widget, style);
  g_object_unref (style);
}

int main( int   argc, char *argv[] ) {

  GtkWidget *window1;
  GtkWidget *entry;

  gtk_init (&argc, &argv);

  window1 = gtk_window_new (GTK_WINDOW_TOPLEVEL);
  entry = gtk_entry_new ();
  gtk_entry_set_text (GTK_ENTRY (entry), "Hello");
  gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (window1), entry);
  gtk_widget_realize (window1);
  gtk_widget_realize (entry);
  pixmap= gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm (GDK_DRAWABLE(entry->window),
     NULL, NULL, "/etc/X11/xdm/pixmaps/xorg.xpm");
  g_assert (pixmap != NULL);
  set_background (entry, pixmap);
  gtk_widget_show (entry);
  gtk_widget_show (window1);
  gtk_main ();

  return 0;

}
