I am trying to use a bitmap instead of a label in a command widget. I
had assumed that
one could set the bitmap in the same manner as a label so I used:

	num_args = 0;
	no_obj = XCreateBitmapFromData (XtDisplay(parent), 
					DefaultRootWindow (XtDisplay(parent)),
					no_obj_bits, no_obj_width, no_obj_height);
	XtSetArg (args[num_args], XtNbitmap, no_obj);
	num_args++;
	m_obj = XtCreateManagedWidget ("object", commandWidgetClass, parent, args,
					num_args);
	XFreePixmap (XtDisplay(parent), no_obj);

As the code to set and create the widget. When I run a test of this code, I get:

X Error of failed request:  BadDrawable (invalid Pixmap or Window parameter)
  Major opcode of failed request:  63 (X_CopyPlane)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  0
  Resource id in failed request:  0x1000019
  Serial number of failed request:  102
  Current serial number in output stream:  107

Question: What is the correct way to set a bitmap in a command widget?
I'd RTFM, but my copy of Athena Widget Set - C Language Interface (X11R4)
says: "See Converting Bitmaps for details), yet I can't find Converting Bitmaps
any where in the manual.

If it makes a difference, I'm running X11R4 (fixes 1, 2) on a DECstation 3100 under
Ultrix 3.1.

As always, many thanks in advance.
