When setting XmNtopShadowPixmap to NULL in my application program in order
to set XmNtopShadowColor, I get the following error message:

           X Error of failed request:  BadPixmap (invalid Pixmap parameter)
           Major opcode of failed request:  55 (X_CreateGC)
           Minor opcode of failed request:  0
           Resource id in failed request:  0x60006a
           Serial number of failed request:  296
           Current serial number in output stream:  312

When setting XmNtopShadowPixmap to NULL in my application defaults file
I don't get an error message.

Does anyone know what's going on here??

I want to set the border colors for a XmText widget which inherits the 
XmPrimitive XmNtopshadowColor and XmNtopshadowPixmap resources. The
Motif1.0 programmer's guide says to set XmNtopshadowPixmap to NULL if
the color specified by XmNtopshadowColor is to be used.

It works fine if I set it to NULL in an .Xdefaults or applicationdefaults
file, but not in my application source program.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
