The thrust of this project is to mimic lights on a PABX console.
I am using OSF/Motif on a DECstation 3100.
The screen has lots of pushbutton widgets in one area. They
respond to signals from the PABX, and change colour to indicate
to the operator to push that particular button. Another signal
from the PABX will release the button.

The sequence is :
  PushButton in normal display. (popped out appearance)
  Outside signal received - paint face a bright colour (say red)
  User pushes 		  - original colour  
			  - pushed in appearance.  (set())
			  - callback is performed. (notify())
			    leave it like this until ...
  Different signal 	  -  Back to original popped out look. (unset()).

I want to use XtCvtStringToPixel. I cannot find the right file to include. 
Can anyone help ?
