Pixbuf / Image Problems

The following is a segment of code that is apparently not working properly. When the program is run, no error messages appear on the console so the image file is being loaded ok, but I don't see the image in the window.
The program is set up such that the image loaded from a pixbuf is inside an event box, which is inside a vbox, which is inside a window.

Is there something wrong with the following code that I am not seeing or any suggestions on what may be happening? Thanks.

Code:

appState->event_box = gtk_event_box_new ();
         
pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_new_from_file  ("5.jpg", &error ); 
         
appState->image = gtk_image_new_from_pixbuf (pixbuf);

 gtk_container_add (GTK_CONTAINER (appState->event_box),  
                                                      appState->image);
  
gtk_widget_set_size_request ( GTK_WIDGET (appState->event_box),     
                          appState->imageWidth, appState->imageHeight);

gtk_window_resize ( GTK_WINDOW ( appState->window ),  appState->imageWidth + 20, appState->imageHeight + 80);

gtk_widget_show (appState->event_box); 

[/code]

I copied the code and it displays the picture, so I don't think there's anything wrong in the fragment you show. You don't show where you add the event box into the window, and you don't show how you're setting up the appState structure -do you actually define a structure somewhere that appState is pointing at?
