I'd slightly prefer the NetBSD.xpm replacement I suggested in the above
PR[*], as it keeps some anti-aliasing by using 68 colors (instead of the
3 colors you use).  Using a transparent background might be nice though,
as long as the grey is readable on the default XDM background (didn't
check).  Here's another version using transparent background and 40
colors:

However, the important thing to do is to replace the pixmaps currently
used, yes.
