[comp.windows.x] XReadBitmapFile help

Greetings;

	My problem is this - I want to read in a cursor bitmap file. I
am trying to use XreadBitmapFile. However, I get the following X error
message: 

X Protocol error:  BadDrawable, invalid Pixmap or Window parameter
  Major opcode of failed request:  53 (X_CreatePixmap)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0x0
  Serial number of failed request:  17
  Current serial number in output stream:  18

I looked at my display, drawable and pixmap variables. None are 0 and
I use the display and drawable in other places in the code and all is
well there. My drawable is actually a window id. If I stuff a bogus id
into the window id, that is the returned resource id on the error.
However, I am at a loss to understand how it could turn up as 0 ever.
HELP!
