Use an explicite path to a .xpm file. It'll work. I do the same. You may
have to restart AfterStep to get the changes to take place. Here's what I
do:
1. Edit the look file to use a pixmap for what you want (128). There are 5
areas that are set to (1) that should be changed to 128 if you want a pixmap
in that area.
2. Type in the explicite pathname. ie: ~/xpm/Tile.Mar17.xpm
    That so happens to be the pathname on mine. That should work for you...
it did for me. Drop another line if you need more help.
