Problem Description
-------------------
Severity Level:
Severe -- represents a problem which resulted in software functionality
limitation but had alternative work-around.
Date of First Occurrence:
<Date problem was first noticed (optional)>
One Line Description:
Bitmaps read in from a UIL file are bit-flipped on some architectures.
Full Description:
Mrmicon.c does not take into account the server bitmap bit
order when creating an image. It creates the image in LSBFirst
format, and then calls XPutImage with the bit order as MSBFirst on
some architectures. This is because the "image" structure is returned
by XCreateImage, which contains architecture-dependent fields. This
only happens on monochrome screens.
Repeat By:
Create a bitmap in UIL. Try to display it on an RT or Sparc.
It's ugly.
Proposed Solution:
Replace the routine Urm__MapIconBitmap in Mrmicon.c with the
version from Motif 1.0.1.
