Yup, that did the trick! No lines around it, just the text-icon. Only funny
thing is that the word xconsole has a bit more room in it's icon than any
of the other icon, but I guess I'll.. have to live with that ;)

/* XPM */
static char *xfm_ps_xpm[] = {
"64 1 1 1",
" s none c none",
" "};

Regards, keep hacking, Paul.
