One thing you can do instead of including the .xpm source is to use the 
gdk-pixbuf-csource program (it should be included with gtk) to convert 
your .xpm file to a GdkPixdata structure, then use the 
gdk_pixbuf_from_pixdata function to create a GdkPixbuf object from the 
GdkPixdata.

On the command line:
gdk-pixbuf-csource --struct --name=my_name image.xpm > image.c

Then in your C source:
pixbuf = gdk_pixbuf_from_pixdata (&my_name, TRUE, 0);
