It's a choice - for gdk_window_set_icon(), you can either
provide a pixmap, and a mask.  (Like from 
gdk_pixmap_colormap_new_from_xpm()), or you can provide
an icon window that you can create.

In theory, you must use an icon window if you want to use
a icon with more than two colors; in practice most window
managers will accept a pixmap which uses the system 
colormap.
