      1)  Set the clipmask to the pixmap to be displayed.
      2)  Set the clip origin to the coordinates where I want the
	  pixmap to be displayed.
      3)  Set the fill_style to FillSolid

Without thinking too hard, this oughta work, but it's an awfully twisted
way to get the job done.  If you're going 1-bit to 1-bit, just use
XCopyArea.  If you're going 1-bit to N-bit, just use XCopyPlane.

(BTW, you fail to set the ClipMask in the case when you already have a gc,
can't tell if that's your problem or not.  If you're running an MIT R3
server and you think it's buggy, send a complete program demonstrating the
bug to xbugs@expo.)
