I'm a little stuck.  I can create a pixmap from a bitmap file
with XReadBitmapData.  Great.  Now what do I do to create
a pixmap with the same depth as my display but with the same
bitmap data?  What I don't want to do (and the only alternative I 
see) is to do a XGetImage and XGetPixel along with a separate
XCreatePixmap (right depth).  Will someone please tell me
I'm wrong (but be right about it OK? :) .
