The mask argument to gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm() should be a GdkBitmap **mask
rather than a GdkBitmap *mask. Didn't the compiler warn about this?

Also if you are using the mask, you don't need to worry about the transparent
color.

So this may be better:

 dialog_widget = lookup_widget(Dialog,"dialog_widget")
 Image = gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm (dialog_widget->window, &ImageMask,
                                     NULL, "error32.xpm");

 //image is the name given to the pixmap entry in glade
 gtk_pixmap_set(GTK_PIXMAP(lookup_widget(Dialog,"image")),Image,ImageMask);
