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

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.
