    A previous  message indicated that it is possible to make a region from
    a bitmap. How?

There is no Xlib support for turning a bitmap into a region.  Such a function
does exist deep inside the sample server implementation.

    Is there a way of using XShrinkRegion to resize a PixMap?

No.  Pixmaps cannot be resized, period.
