well, in my xturboappmgr program, I have a little pin-up button that you
can click and it changes the background color - doing this is about the
same difficulty as reloading a pixmap into the button and updating it...
you just need to reload the pixmap instead of changing the background
color, and my loop code will take care of the update.

get it, install it, have a blast.  let me know if you like it.  It's a
windowmanager-independent app launcher that uses /etc/X11/wmconfig/*
files, btw.  My first GTK+ app, but a pretty nice one, IMHO.
