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. Bryan Boreham bryan@alex.com
