Hi.  I'm a relative newcomer to X, so my question may be dumb.  I want
to draw a gray rectangle on my monochrome X terminal.  (Actually, I
want to display a BW image, but this is a first step.)  I've created
pixmaps that do stippling that I like (although I'd rather X figure
out how to stipple) but I cannot figure out how to set a GC to hand to
XFillRectangle ().  Could some kind soul give me a hint (perhaps a
code fragment)?  I'd *really* appreciate it.

Sorry if this question is dumb.  Neither my X book (Johnson +
Reichard) nor lots of experimentation got me anywhere on this problem.
