Oh no, it's just that I've written code directly on top of Xlib[0]. The
man page for XSetStipple gives the following prototype:
XSetStipple(display, gc, stipple)
Display *display;
GC gc;
Pixmap stipple;
(Pardon the K&R C, but X is old ...)
IIRC, under some obscure instances you can get away with setting a
pixmap as the stipple, namely when drawing bitmaps[1]. The original
poster sxperienced this error during the drawing operation after all.

[0] IIRC, 96.
[1] In that case, and depending on other paramters of the Graphics
Context[2], those pixels that are set in the bitmap copy[3] the
respective pixels from the stipple to the destination drawable
[2] don't ask.
[3] or perform other operations, see [2]
