I have two titlebar buttons where vector graphics should work, but my
real problem is xpms which I use across the entire titlebar in order to
simulate a border between the titlebar and the window (like twm). One of
these problem xpms has three colors. The background color checkered with
the foreground color and then a strip of border color along the bottom.
I am using version 2.5.8
Thank you for all of your help.
