Why is it that X11 pixmaps cannot be the opened for drawing
using starbase routines?
With X11 Windows you can use make_X11_gopen_string and 
gopen, but for pixmaps this produces a runtime error.
I am presently converting a large program from HP windows
to X11. This program uses a number of starbase calls
which I don't want to have to change.
