What about $OPENWIN/bin/iconedit?

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.
