XPM is an image format, pretty much a de-facto standard for icons under
X these days.  It's a not a "standard" part of X per se, however it's
pretty ubiquitous.  Have a look in:

  ftp://avahi.inria.fr/pub/xpm

for the sources and some good papers on the format.  It's well-documented.

You'll also want to look at the Gtk tutorial, part 7.5.
