140) Can I use XmGetPixmap in Motif 1.2 to create colored images?

XmGetPixmap only converts XBM [X bitmap] files in 1.2.  In 2.0 it supports XPM
[X Pixmap] files.  You can register a more capable converter and set the
pixmap via resources as a workaround.  You can also use libXpm
directly...[Note that] even now there isn't a "standard" color pixmap file
format.  There are several.  It is relatively recently that many people have
settled on XPM.  But even so not everyone has done this.
