Subject: Re: XForms: Pixmap

Thank you, but i don't have an X source distrib. I looked at 'shape.h' un=
der
'usr/include/extensions' but i did't understand so much by the function
prototypes.
Perhaps i should buy an Xlib programming manual or find it on the web.

But, since i already have the correct pixmap, there is not a simple way t=
o set a
'clip mask' or a 'shape mask' with Xlib ?
Perhaps with XSetClipMask?
(i tried it but doesn't work).

Thank you, and excuse me if i'm outbounding to Xlib.

Best Regards, Stefano
