 I second Glynn's comments.  The XPM format is great for things like toolbar
 icons because of the configurability that symbolic color names offer.  I
 don't know much about the PNG format, but unless it has similar symbolic
 color capabilities, it would be a net loss, IMHO.
 
 Currently, the XEmacs toolbar makes some use of symbolic colors, but a lot
 more could be done in this area. 
Is XPM support and the symbolic names necessarily true for Microsoft
Windows OS's, as well?
