I eventually got my test program running fine, see my reply to Sven. > In general with GTK 2 allocating/freeing > colors should never be necessary, > gdk_rgb_find_color() and > gdk_gc_set_fg_color()/gdk_gc_set_bg_color() should > be used instead. With these functions things didn't go too well. static int configure_event_cb(GtkWidget * w, GdkEvent * e, gpointer p) { GdkColor color = {-1,-1,-1,-1}; GdkEventConfigure * cfg = (GdkEventConfigure*)e; color.red = g_rand_int_range(my_rand,0,256); color.green = g_rand_int_range(my_rand,0,256); color.blue = g_rand_int_range(my_rand,0,256); gdk_rgb_find_color(gtk_widget_get_colormap(w), &color); g_print("color: pixel=%08X red=%02X green=%02X" "blue=%02X\n",color.pixel,color.red, color.green,color.blue); gdk_gc_set_foreground( w->style->bg_gc[GTK_STATE_NORMAL],&color); gtk_widget_queue_draw_area(w,0,0,cfg->width, cfg->height); return TRUE; // FALSE ? } Pixel.color always gets zero after gdk_rgb_find_color. I tried reading the sources to find some clue, but they are, well, a little difficult. FWIW I'm using 16-bit color.
