I need to place pushbuttons at several locations over a pixmap, in this
case a satellite photo.  The pushbutton must be transparent, i.e., let
the satellite photo show through except for the button's border.

I am limited to using the tools distributed with x11r4; I would prefer to
use Xw functions but am willing to use Xaw functions.  Any suggestions?

What I've done so far:
  o  Xw BulletinBoard contains 
     -  Xw WorkSpace, containing satellite photo
     -  Xaw Command, with backgroundPixmap set to None, at appropriate
        locations.

This works, sort of, but I'm trolling for other approaches.  Any suggestions
will be greatly appreciated.
