Yes. Pixmap do not exist on the screen at anytime therefore a position is not
meaningful and is ignored. A pixmap is an area of RAM that is used to hold an
image but the image is not automatically displayed anywhere. To display a pixmap
you must bltblt() it to a displayable control - eg. a Bitmap or a window's
background.
