- You can set the background pixmap of any X window, regardless of
- widget set. You might want to use an OLIT button, in which case
- you need an image rather than a pixmap.
-
- As an aside, iconedit seems to write out in XPM version 2 format,
- and pbmplus as distributed can't read this. I fetched the latest
- version of the xpm code, which has a new xpmtoppm, but it only
- reads version 1 and 3, not 2. So I hacked it to read every kind
- of xpm file I could find, but I would still like to know if there
- is a "one true xpmtoppm" that would be better than my own hack.
