XEmacs has a mode for editing XPM's. It is actually very nice and even
gives you a preview of the image. You will have to add these lines to
your "~/.emacs" file:

(setq auto-mode-alist
      (append '(("\\.xpm\\(\\.orig\\)?$" . xpm-mode))
              auto-mode-alist))

This mode is not suited for editing *huge* XPM's, but for normal sized
ones, it works very nicely.
