They are silly errors : "Invalid pixmap" stuff. My idle_callabck is
responsible for an animation using the pixmaps. My QUIT routine is
a function bound to a button callback which goes and frees the pixmaps
before everything ends. BUT it is/was ;-} possible that the
idle_callback was trying to access the pixmaps still!

The fl_set_idle_callback(NULL,NULL) works fine now. THANKS (again)...

Bob.

P.S.: Still trying to get to the pixmap background re-draw problem...
