Since that function only converted a string into a Bitmap we renamed it to
StringToBitmap.  The code can be found in "lib/Xmu/StrToBmap.c".  This converter
is registered by the Athena VendorShell to convert a String Resource to a
Bitmap.

The problem was that people were attempting to use this converter for the
Background Pixmap and Border Pixmap of the Core widget.  On color displays this
would cause a Bad Match protocol error.  Since the Pixmap produced what of the
wrong depth.

Most of the Resources in Xaw got updated, but a few were missed.  I will leave
it as an exercise for the Reader to figure out which resources can actually
accept Bitmaps :-).
