Heres how to create an XPM with a hotspot (from the XPM docs):
The Values-string is a single string that must contain four integers
that correspond to the width and height of the pixmap, the number of
colors in the pixmap, and the number of characters per pixel in the
color specification. The string can optionally specify the hotspot
coordinates and the word XPMEXT if the pixmap includes an
Extensions-string.
The format of the string is as follows:
width height ncolors cpp [x_hotspot y_hotspot] [XPMEXT]
The hotspot is available to the program thru the XpmAttributes
structure.
