dont use xpm or gif - use png. it's compressed and small (unlike the
xpm), it is able to hav 24-bit color,  loads fast, does not use
proprietary patented compression methods like gif, thus no legal
issues, and gdk_imlib can load them into a pixmap for you (with a mask)
in one command just like gtk.
