Why not use 1.1 instead? 1.0 is getting kind of old, and 1.2 is not
too far away in time.

If you are using GtkPixmap, you can use gtk_pixmap_set() to change
it. If you are using GnomePixmap, you can use any of the
gnome_pixmap_load*() functions.

Yes, just paint on the Gdk pixmap and force the pixmap widget to
repaint itself.

You can use gdk_window_set_icon().

Dialog boxes are usually marked as transient for some other toplevel
window.

I have no idea :-)

Not too many. I think you should make it a Gnome application from the
start; you'll save yourself plenty of code and you'll gain consistency
with the rest of the Gnome desktop.
