- I've created several color pixmaps, and I was wondering how I can create
- icons for them in Xlib (X11R4). The icon_pixmap field of WMHints doesn't
- seem to work, since some window managers (e.g. twm) only copy one bit plane of
- the pixmap to the icon. Is there a way to create an icon manually (i.e.
- an independent icon, not necessarily created by iconifying a window) and
- then copy the pixmap to it? I've been using a window but I don't want all
- the window manager gadgets. Should I just override the window manager and
- write all the routines to handle move, expose, etc. events manually?
