icons for Motiff & CDE
I think the icons depend greatly on the application. There are likely not many standard icons that you can use -- and the best ones may be copyrighted material.
You can use the "pixmap" program and the XPM library to create small multi-color pixmaps and load them. They can be installed as the background pixmap of buttons (especially as the XmDrawnButton`s).
The ICS EPak also includes a widget which can display a pixmap or a text string -- one or the other or both. (Not too sure about neither.) You can then display text and a pixmap to ensure that you haven`t made some culture-specific image that makes no sense elsewhere (e.g. the "Home" logo that Netscape uses).
PS I should add that a very nice set of icons covering a good spectrum of applications came with the Open Look widget set and XView toolkit. They looked good and were crisp in black and white. I imagine that they are adaptable for your uses, and probably without usage restrictions.
