I followed the code in Nye & O'Reilly vol 4 X Toolkit Intrinsics
Programming Manual p.278 and it worked fine. At least it did on 
a 32x32 icon. On a 16x16 icon I only got the default icon.  This
was mwm version 1.0, running on an Apollo  using both the Apollo
and a 386 for servers. The bits were created using bitmap.

	#include "ruler.bits"

	Pixmap icon_pixmap;
	Widget toplevel;

	toplevel = XtInitialise(...);
	icon_pixmap = XCreateBitmapFromData(XtDisplay(toplevel),
			RootWindowOfScreen(XtScreen(toplevel)),
			ruler_bits, ruler_width, ruler_height);
	XtSetArg(args[0], XmNiconPixmap, icon_pixmap);
	XtSetValues(toplevel, args, 1);
