	I want to put up a series of objects under X that may be
either bitmaps or filled polygons. They all need to be the same color
and get highlighted as they are selected.

	Now, the question is, what is the BEST way to get X to tell me
WHAT "icon" was picked ??

	I can:

	1) Check mouse co-ords against the display list (ugly)
	2) Associate a "region" under each object (is this right?)

	Are there other ways ?
