I can't answer your question, exactly, but:

In the Utah Raster Toolkit (available from utah by ftp) there is a program
called "getx11" which displays utah RLE files;  when these windows are
closed, the icon is the image....

This seems to be similar to what you want.  If you track down this program
it should answer some of your questions (even if only in X).

good luck
  Stephen.
