I am trying to program an application that is moving icons (bitmaps)
around in a window.  It works fine when I know what the background
pixmap is so I can repaint the areas vacated by the icons with the
background.  However, if I use the background inherited from the parent
window, I don't have a handle to the pixmap, and so can't repaint with
it.  My query is twofold.  Is there a way I can either
1) cause a specific region (specified by a bitmask) to be repainted with
   the window background, or
2) find out the background pixmap of an arbitrary window?
