I know someone out there can tell me how to do the following:

I want to create a window using a background pixmap that I 
have generated previously. So the pixmap is in a file and 
I wish to read it into a buffer and slap it up on a window.

The application is a tool that displays floorplans of a 
building, I figure I first write a little program to draw
a floorplan using XLine(), save the window Pixmap using
PixmapGetXY(), and write the data to a file.

When I fire up the application I suck the file in from
disk and make a Pixmap from it with XStorePixmapXY()
for use as a Window background.

Should be a piece of cake right?  Hmmm....

My first attempt has already crashed one mVax and,
well... you get the picture.

Any guidance from the X-men and X-women out there 
would be great.
