The sxpm program
can be used to view any XPM (version 1, 2, or 3) file and/or to convert
a file from XPM1 or XPM2 to XPM version 3. If sxpm is run with any dummy

show window will have the size of the read pixmap. Pressing the key Q in
the window will quit the program.

Some window managers may not accept a pixmap which is not a
bitmap as icon because this does not respect ICCCM, many of the well known
ones will accept it though.
