        If you open a XPM file in a text editor, you'll notice it's an ordinary C file
-- it's just an array that includes the palette and pixel data, in text. So you
can safely #include them, and use, for example, gdk_pixmap_create_from_xpm_d.

        About glade: if you look in the generated C source, esp. in main.c, you'll see
two lines:

                  add_pixmap_directory (PACKAGE_DATA_DIR "/pixmaps");
                  add_pixmap_directory (PACKAGE_SOURCE_DIR "/pixmaps");
        
        Guess what they do :)
