Chances are that the pixmap is 1-bit deep and your screen is more than
1-bit deep (e.g., it's color).  You can't mix pixmaps and windows
that have differing depths.  You can avoid this problem by using
XmGetPixmap rather than XReadBitmapFile().  However, the file must
be in one of a set of predesignated directories.  (I forget what the
specifics on this are, but it includes /usr/include/X11/bitmaps, I
believe).
