A Pixmap's depth can be whatever its root supports.  I am pretty sure that
all X implementations accept pixmaps of depth 1 for use as BITMAPS.

Since you have to tell a pixmap what its root window is, you simply have decide
which root window you want to use.  (presumably DefaultRootWindow(display)).
